Hello and Welcome to Chat Doctor, Thanks for writing to us. Low back pain is common after childbirth. After delivery, the pelvic muscles and ligaments get lax. Decreased levels of calcium and vitamin D 3 can also aggravate the pain.  It can be treated conservatively with some analgesic and anti-inflammatory medication with pelvic exercises. Continue taking diet rich in calcium and vitamins and minerals. Hope this helps you. Wishing you good health... Regards.  Chat Doctor. Orthopedic Surgeon.
