So my whole lower back is starting to hurt really badly. Nothing is comfortable. But I am not hurting in the front. Does…

Stuck in a bed for 12 hours*

You can carry up to 44 weeks. There is no early or late. Its time when they are ready. It is our impatience and bodily pains that make us say they need to hurry up. I can tell you from experience dont have inducement it prolongs and conplicates labor dont do epidural it slows the labor and takes away you having control over your body. I did this with both of my daughters and i almost lost my life in the OR. This pregnancy im not letting docotrs control when my baby comes and i want to push naturally so im not stuck in a bed for two hours. My kids were almost 10 lbs a piece but i am determined to not fear this time.

@danielledew94, I just hope she checks to see if I did dilate I want her to come on time and not early. But I also don't wanna be diolated and go into labor at work.

No youre not ready yet. When they drop your belly will point downward and you will find it almost impossible to walk. Sounds like you might be dialating and effacing but that can take weeks as well and the back pain is just giving tastes of small bits of what is to come. Some women get the back pain some dont. If your placenta is posterior birth will be easier but back pain is increased

@danielledew94, my last appointment also they said she dropped a lot more from the last visit.

@danielledew94, here is right now

@krispy1996 👍

@danielledew94, I can take one. Brb.

Curious do you have a recent photo of belly? Wanting to see how much you have dropped.

@danielledew94, thank you ❤️

Baby may be getting into position causing the back labor pain. Unfortunately you can do that for weeks. Lots of rest a extra water and hot showers will help. If it gets untolerable visit your ER asap.

@danielledew94, it was Wednesday. She never even f*in checked me. She said she won't till the 21st(my next appointment) bc she doesn't check until 38-40 weeks. Okay. I'm almost 38 so I don't get why she never did. My pains the other day were not my braxon hicks. It killed. I told her my pains and she still didn't check.

Could be back labor pain. When was your last check up?
