Hello Tania it is normal although it is better you discuss with your gynae during your next visit you can tell where exactly the pain is. Also pls try to sit in the mrt. About the walk, my gynae told me gradually increase the time from 20 mins in week 12 to 30 mins two weeks after that and 40 mins 2 weeks after that and just stay at that. Closer to third trimester when belly gets bigger you might feel slight breathlessness while walking so walk slowly and you can even reduce the time and distance accordingly. You cannot walk the same distance at the same pace for the same time as days pass. Walking and keeping yourself active is important but straining or pushing yourself is not recommended
