hello! so last night my back was hurting really bad so i had dh give me a rub and i went to bed. i woke up at like 6am and it was hurting really bad again so i got up and went on the couch so i could sit up. i was cramping and my back was hurting! so i thought maybe it was like contractions but not that bad because the crmaping was just more uncomfortable than anything. that went on for about 1.5 hours. then all the sudden, boom back ache is gone! maybe it was braxton hicks? and i have been cramping on and off the rest of today. this is my first and i am only 34 weeks so i am not sure what to expect Smile

thanks for any replies!

could be braxton hicks, but it could be the baby putting so much pressure on your body, your bound to get quite alot of aches and pains

I am almost 38 weeks and that happens to me sometimes. I get slight cramping, backaches, pelvic pressure. We're carrying around big heavy babies now! Try to take it easy and get some rest! TTYL

Hey

I just had a baby and was in labor for 38 hours and it started in my back, When I called my doctor that what he told me anyway but it was the same thing it would get really bad and then go way, after all that labor I had to have a C- section. It really wasn't that bad because I just wanted to get it over with. I wish you the best you will be fine. I alway went into my doctor office or call for every little thing it was my first as well. If your worried call your doctor that what there, there for.
