Hello, I have gone through your query and understood your concern. Backache at this stage of pregnancy could mean increased stress on the back muscles, cervical incompetence that could be causing the pain, fetal movements and position of the fetus in the uterus causing pressure on the cervix and so on. Urinalysis and a spectrum examination can rule out local causes and infections. A sonogram can detect a short cervix and the need for further management including a cervical encircle. Please get the sonogram done as soon as possible to clarify. Wish you safe motherhood.
