I was having back pains and my stomach
hurt and I was having contractions every
10 minutes and then they stopped but the
back pain stayed and I still have it.. It
sometimes gets worse when I lay down so
that'll make it really hard to sleep
tonight.. Is there anything I can do for
it? Or does anyone know what could be
causing it?

Same questions & possibilities as the
last post, but our answers would be
better, wiser & more relevan t if we
knew how far along you are rather than us
assuming by you mentioning contractions
that you'er near to having the baby.
For back pain I used several things,
sometimes one after the other, othertimes
depending on situation or precise type of
pain:
curled up with my back against the warmth
of my husband & "felt" his breathing
sort of as a gentle massage;
long soak in a hot (not too hot) bath
while I read & had a cup of tea;
take a gentle walk;
hot pack against back;
sitting up to sleep;
do something to occupy your mind -
sometimes if I forgot it I found that i'd
relaxed & it had eased or even gone.

Probably Labour...

You can take tylenol or use a heating pad
for 15 minute intervals, but back pain is
a sign of labour. How far along are you?
Everytime I have gone into labour, I have
had extreme back pain. Expecially if you
had contractions, please check with your
doctor, or even the emergency room to see
if you are dilating. Take care of
yourself! Goodluck!

In regards to the last posting on heating
pad
i read if your prgnant to stay away from
heating pads,electric blankets
and water beds it said the electrical
fields present can increas your risk of a
miscarriage and disturb fetal
development.
Have you heard of this?

I'm due in a week.. And the pain went
away so I could sleep as long as I had a
hot water bottle against my back.. When
the hot water bottle cooled down I woke
up.. The pain is smaller but it kinda
feels like its coming back. Any position
is painful. No more contractions though

Back Labor

The long thing that is it back labor. I
had it and what really claims me down was
jerry springer. I went into the hospital
and they said I was ready to deliver I was
7 centermeters. So if I was you I wouldnt
rush to the hospital cuz its not worth it
just hold out until you cant take that
pain anymore.
Good luck

Cold Pop Can

Today I was in childbirth class and I
learned that if you're having back labor
get a almost frozen pop can and rub it
against your lower back. It makes the
baby go away from it because it doesnt
like cold.
Maybe you were dehidrated (horrible
speller)...Drink lots of water and lay
down...If the problem still goes on..Call
your doctor.

Hey, Its Me

Hey its just me. I say if you keep
having these pains go to the doctor. It
doesn't hurt to be sure. You could be in
labor or really close to it and you wont
be able to know if you've dialated any
unless the doctor checks you. Go for it
and I hope everything goes well. I know
you cant wait till you have that beautiful
baby girl (my fingers crosses for you) at
home and in your arms.
