It's most likely your joints and ligaments stretching to make room for baby, and widening of the hips to prepare for delivery. I'm having it as well, not terrible, but I know it's there. I had it with my first pregnancy too.

My back was hurting a lot when i had a UTI... and that was when i first got pregnant. Now that i have taken the meds... It doesn't hurt as bad... the only thing that kills me is my feet! cuz i'm standing on my feet for 8+ hours a day.

I feel your pain (literally)!  I have a persistent lower back injury, and now that I'm pregnant, I can't take advil or muscle relaxers.  The only other thing that helps me is yoga.  If your doctor says it's okay, I recommend gentle yoga or pregnancy yoga classes.  Once you get the hang of it, you can even use a video to do it at home to save money.  Feel better! :)
