repeating sharp pain in lower back

I'm a new mom pregnant with a baby boy at 27 weeks. I keep getting a nagging pain in my lower back, but only on the right side. It's a sharp surge of pain for a couple of seconds, goes away for a couple seconds and repeats this cycle for a few minutes at least once a day if not more. I know lower back pain is expected but, I'm worried this might be something more.

Could be braxton hicks or something as simple as gas pains...I'd call your doctor cause its better to be checked than let it go. I was at the hospital last week for a lot of lower pelvic pressure. Its better to be checked to make sure you're not having preterm labour symptoms
