Yes this is normal. I had bad back pain at the beginning of 2nd trimester, than it eased off and now I'm 8 1/2 months and its back again with full force. I would ask your ob-gyn about seeing a chiropractor. Some people claim chiropractors are great, others will say the opposite and leave your back off in worse state than it was. Try positioning yourself with pillows on your left side and put a pillow between your legs. Use a heating pad, it helps me. Also do simple exercises/stretches for your back, walk and drink water. Make sure you have good posture when sitting in a chair, don't slunch over. Warm baths also might help.

Yes a chiro is safe. I went to mine throughout all 3 of my pregnancies and OH IT HELPS ALOT! Especially if you go at least two times a month. Also, sleep with a pillow between your legs as the baby is growing and getting bigger it'll put more strain on your low back. Try and be off your feet but not constantly. And not on your feet all the time either.
