I can appreciate your concern about having a normal pregnancy, especially because of your sister's recent miscarriage.
Lower abdominal pain or pelvic pain, mild cramping on one side of the pelvis, nausea, abnormal vaginal bleeding, breast tenderness, low back pain and a missed period are all symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy.
You have at least 2 of these symptoms and need to call your doctor. Your doctor will do a pelvic exam, a pregnancy test, which measures the hormone called hCG that is produced during pregnancy, and a transvaginal ultrasound, along with other blood tests.
Please do not wait to be examined. If this is an ectopic pregnancy, there is the risk of rupture. You will need emergency medical attention if the area of the ectopic pregnancy breaks open or ruptures.
