If you are a healthy individual with no known health issues then it is not normal and I would talk to my doctor. However, if you are pregnant and in your last trimester then you are going to be aching and that's normal. The pains will go away after the baby is born.

I was already a back pain sufferer but did experience increased pain early in pregnancy (7 weeks or sooner). I attribute additional pain to the loosening of joints & ligaments - the doctor/nurse or a good book will tell you all about relaxin.
