Yes, indeed you can. It may be helpful if you alternate it with heat. Many women find a warm bath comforting, and you can add something like Radox bath salts which contains magnesium sulphate to relieve the pain too.
It can also help if you lie down on the floor and put your legs up against a wall. Don't try this when you are too heavy though as you may not be able to get back up again.
If you plan to use a TENS machine as pain relief when you are in labour, you could get one now and use it on your back.
Swimming is another thing that may help.
If it gets too severe, talk to your doctor, who may send you to a physiotherapist who is specially trained to help with this sort of problem. I advise against taking medication until you have talked to your doctor, midwife or pharmacist, but there is no reason to put yourself through unnecessary suffering.
