Brief Answer:
Don't worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear and thanks for your query.

I have read your query and I understand your concern.

If you have only back pain without any other symptoms like vaginal bleeding and abdominal cramps there is nothing to worry.

Try to be calm
Be hydrated , use 2 to 3 liter of water per day
Don't engage in any strenuous activities and/ lift weights

If during this time-period while you are pregnant, you haven't done any urinalysis, you should do it, to exclude any urinary tract infection.

If you have any other question do not hesitate.


Best of luck with the pregnancy
