Hello
Welcome here.
I can understand your concerns.
Lower abdominal pain and lower back pain are usual in pregnancy.
This is because pelvic ligaments starts stretching.
I think your should not worry.
Take adequate rest in left lateral position.
Avoid heavy work and lifting heavy things.
You can do hot compresses for your back pain.
Go for a repeat ultrasound as advised by your doctor in due time.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
