Back Pain

Ways to ease lower back pain during the night?

I had unprotected sex a few weeks ago, twice, and am now suffering from severe lower back pain. It happens during the day on and off, but it's really intense during the night while I am sleeping. I have tried lying on my side with a pillow between my knees, which eases the pain slightly but not entirely. I still find myself tossing and turning for more comfortable positions, which I don't really manage to accomplish. Any suggestions?

1. I have had the same problem for a large chunk of my pregnancy and I am now 38 1/2 weeks. It definately gets worse the further along you are. However, if you take a warm bath before bed that seems to help. Another thing that helped me is putting a heating pad on your back on low for about 20 minutes before bed as well.
