I don't think you should worry too much. I had both back pain and abdominal pain but if the abdominal pain gets too severe then you should ask your doctor. :)

Yes, i agree with jessica, you don't have anything to worry about, just keep an eye on it and see how it develops. I also have the same pains since about 12 weeks and still have them once in a while. I asked my midwife about it and she said that the pain comes from ligaments stretching as your uterus grows.

The abdominal pain is called round ligament pain and it is from the ligaments stretching (as Kashi said) so that your uterus can grow enough to support your baby. As far as back pain, it is completely normal. You can try making sure your posture is good, stretching, and you can buy a maternity belt to support your back. Those are all things that my doctor has suggested. At night it was suggested that I buy either a maternity body pillow or put extra pillows under my back.
