Could be Braxton hicks. That's how I would describe mine. My stomach tightens and my back (especially my lower back) hurts SOOO bad like sharp pains. Time them to be safe because I told my doctor about this and she told me to always time them to rule out preterm labor

sometimes the baby is laying on things I'd try drinking water an a heating pad but if they come an go call the doc but ur body has too practice for awhile bf u go into actual labor

Is your stomach tightening along with it occasionally, that's the contraction part?

@hermommy,

I'm not sure if that's what I'm having or not, but all this morning my back has been killing me. So painful..

omg theyre horrible, to me they felt like you had been walking for days and not sitting down while on your period, and when the contractions would stop... that back pain stayed but when it'd come back again the pain just got worse
