There is no problem with the use of proventil/albuterol during pregnancy.  The following is from Lexi-Comp, a respected source of information about prescription drugs:

"Pregnancy Risk Factor B
Pregnancy Considerations
Adverse events have not been observed in animal studies; therefore, amoxicillin is classified as pregnancy category B. There is no documented increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcome or teratogenic effects caused by amoxicillin. It is the drug of choice for the treatment of chlamydial infections in pregnancy.”  

The most important issue, during pregnancy, is that your asthma be well controlled for the welfare of both you and your baby.  You should definitely discuss this with your doctors and be followed closely that your asthma is optimally controlled.  In many instances, this may require additional asthma medication, but the good news is that, for the most part, these medications have been shown to be safe during pregnancy.
While the abdominal and lower back pain may not be serious, you should report the pains to your doctor without delay.  You may need to be examined as such pains might be serious, without associated “spotting.”
Good luck,  Best wishes for you to have a healthy baby.
