Hi,
If you have always been doing this much work and your pregnancy has been uncomplicated uptill now then it should not be any problem.
I would advise you to go for an ultrasound scan to see how the pregnancy is going and if everything is fine or not.
A women can tolerate up to moderate amount of exercise in pregnancy ,especially if she is accustomed to it since before pregnancy.If you have any symptoms like bleeding per vaginum, abdominal cramps, then it would be wise to rule out threatened abortion ,especially since you have back ache.Back ache could be due to multiple causes.
Please get the back ache evalauted before hand.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
