These back pains are killing me! Literally in tears... 😭😭

☹️ Have you tried a heating pad?

@olivbee, I’ve tried that and a shower.

Have you considered it could be labor?

@laniejay, I have not. I didn’t think back pain was a cause of labor

@gummybear728, some women experience back labor which can manifest as back pain. I personally haven’t so I can’t speak too much to it, but it’s not uncommon either. Maybe google some symptoms of back labor?

@laniejay, I’ll do that now ❤️

It can be back labor. I had back labor with both pregnancy and it was extremely painful

@williamsl.miesha, Do I need to go in? It’s been 4 hours of irregular contractions and constant back pain

@gummybear728 do you know how far apart in intervals you feel the pain? If not start timing each time you feel the pain because they can be contractions.

@gummybear728 you probably are in early labor. Give your OB a call or try L&D

@williamsl.miesha, around 10 min or a little more apart.

@williamsl.miesha, but some are closer like I’ll have one. Then I’ll have another one 5 min later. Then I’ll have one 10 min later. Then like 3 min later. They are all over the place. And they feel like period cramps. My belly tightens up too. But I’m afraid I’ll just be sent home

@gummybear728 it is very possible you are in early labor because you are 40 weeks and that is exactly how both of my labors started and I was over 40 weeks. Call L&D and they will give you the best reccomendation. Were you dialated any at your last exam?

@williamsl.miesha, I guess I should. I was at a 3 and a half for dilation

Update when you can! Same thing is happening to me and it hurts so bad 😭

@spiritdenhoed777, called the doctors. They said try to wait it out till tomorrow for my check up. Since my contractions aren’t regular

Good luck I hope you meet your little one soon❤️❤️

@spiritdenhoed777, you too love!
