Hello,
You earlier said that you were 4 weeks?
If its 4 months then any pain needs to be further evaluated with an ultrasound pelvis to look for the cause and a high vaginal swab culture shall be mandatory. The scan due as of now would be your SCAN for nuchal translucency test which is done between 12-15 weeks.
However vaginal swab culture may be taken to rule out especially bacterial vaginosis, which can cause preterm labour in future if infection remains persistent.
