Okay so I'm 38 weeks and 5 days......i keep getting a sharp pain in my back that goes into my stomach and i can feel it in my pelvis and bum.......I also get a pain that starts in my lower stomach.
I am not getting any cramping however my stomach does become hard and tight.
Is this the beginning of labour or just normal pains for this far along?



Yeah I’d prob say Braxton Hicks then hun
@rachaellw i get them in a pattern which is making me think maybe braxton or practice. I'll get four of these pains about 6 mins apart and then it will stop for around 3o mins then it'll start again.
See how far apart they are. Maybe try a warm bath. I new I was when a bath wasn’t helping or easing any pain x
@winterbaby95 Yeah Ive Had Braxton hicks for a while and nit they aren't normally this bad. Do they get stronger like this before labour?
Sorry to sound so unknowing.
@rachaellw okay thanks ladies
