Hello dear,
I understand your concern.In my opinion the pelvic pains and back ache need
physical examination to rule out any preterm pains.
I suggest you to consult doctor for vaginal examination to check for any cervical changes.
The causes of preterm pains can be urinary tract infection or any other infection ,dehydration etc.
So they need to be ruled out and if present they need to be treated.Usually Braxton hicks are not painful and present during the pregnancy.Nothing to worry.
They will subside with apt treatment.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
