Is there such a thing as back contractions?

Yes. It's back labor.

and it's in your lower back lose to your buttocks right?@andiryan93

I had those when I was in labor and they were the worst!

yes, and hip labor, too. it sucks ass

should I time the back contractions as well? @katarama @meboom01

It's horrible. I had back, hip, butt and thigh contractions along with the regular ones. It makes me sweat just thinking about it.

@katarama, I had that too with the back labor since she was turned to the side. I wanted to die without that epidural! And @mommy2isabellafae I would because they're legit contractions

okay I will do that thank you @meboom01 I hate this I want to cry so much it hurts so bad

@meboom01, do you think a slight back rub would work or make it worse

Stand or kneel and bend over onto a bed or couch and have your birthing partner apply pressure to your hips. It's called the double hip squeeze. It really helped me http://naturallifemom.com/2012/05/the-double-hip-squeeze-comfort-during-labor/

My boyfriend gave me one while I was having them and it felt good
