Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the pain abdomen and backache might indicate labour pains.But if they are associated with brownish discharge they indicate true labour pains.So a physical examination is needed to check for any cervical changes.Whether its prelabour or true or false labour pains is known only after examination.So consult doctor and get examination done.
