There is no one-size-fits-all set of exercises to fix low back pain because there are many reasons your back could be hurting. For example, if you have a strained muscle in your lower back, the last thing you want to do it stretch because that muscle is already overstretched. Without completing an exam to determine your unique situation, it would be irresponsible of me to recommend exercises.
My recommendation is to make an appointment with a chiropractor in your area so they can do X-rays, examine your back, and get you on a personalized treatment plan.
Best of luck

You’ll want to find a massage therapist who offers Prenatal Massage. It is mostly the same as a regular massage but the table will have a middle section cut out for your growing belly to fit in, so that you and your baby are comfortable.

Either of these should be good options so that you can still enjoy the many benefits of massage therapy.

Depending on the cause of your back pain, gentle chiropractic adjustments can likely lessen or eliminate your pain. Some chiropractors go through additional training to focus on prenatal care, and there are special adjustment techniques designed to be safe and effective for pregnant women. Look for a chiropractor who is certified in Webster Technique or specifically talks about pregnancy on their website. I hope it helps and that you have a smooth pregnancy and birth!
