Pain and pregnancy: Get to the doctor and get the pregnancy confirmed that is is in the right location, most of the time what you describe is normal but at times it may not be.

Evaluation: Contact your obstetrician. Kidney stone or infection, herniated disk, arthritis among other abnormalities can cause your back pain.
