Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion pressure in abdomen along with backache might need pervaginal examination by gynaecologist to rule out preterm labour.As you have past history of preterm labours it need to be ruled out.It might also be due to stomach bug .But anything is confirmed only after examination.Take adequate fluids to avoid dehydration.
