Are back aches and headaches pregnancy symptoms?

I'm not sure if I'm even pregnant yet, but I have some symptoms. Including nausea, in the evening only, lightheaded, tired, and certain smells kill me. I have 2 symptoms that confuse me, 1 being a low back ache and 2 being a low grade constant headache. Are those symptoms or am I imagining it?

I had all of those same symptoms of pregnancy too

Those are all symptoms of pregnancy that I had too. The backache can be caused by loosening of ligaments and joints as the body starts getting ready to carry a child - and the headaches can be caused by changes in hormones. I called it my "hormone headache" and mine went away after the first month, thank goodness.
