Depends on where in your lower back.  I'm 38 weeks and 6 days now.  I have been experiencing pain in my back, but it's not sharp it's just an aching pain.  Of course that's normal because my spine has changed and I have a baby in the front. Lol.   I only experience the leg pain because that's where I'm carrying all my weight.  My legs swell up pretty bad and it almost feels like I can't bend them.  I would consult with your doctor on how you're feeling though.  I'm far from one, but I can only share what I've been experiencing.  Hope this helps...

Maybe you should call labor and delivery?
