A woman gains about 10 to 15 kg of body weight during pregnancy as you carry life within. The spinal cord has to support that weight that causes lower back pain. As your belly grows, it will pressure the pelvis muscles and blood vessels.

As your belly expands, the separation of two muscles reaches the pubic bone. This separation of muscles during pregnancy can affect you the most and introduce back pain. Most of the time, you experience back pain in the second half of pregnancy. 

4. Hormonal changes

Research has shown that during pregnancy, the pregnant woman's body releases a hormone called relaxin that allows pelvic muscles to relax, which leads to pain and discomfort.
