Brief Answer:
Normal symptoms

Detailed Answer:
Hello

I understand your concerns about back pain.

At 11 weeks pregnancy it is common to have back pain and cramps. This does not mean miscarriage.

These pains are due to expanding uterus and body ligaments to make room for baby. These changes are common due to hormones.

Don't worry about miscarriage.

Let me know if you need any more clarifications.

Regards
Dr. Soumya
