so I have this AWFUL pressure in my lower back that comes and goes about every 10ish minutes. And I have crampy that starts really low and then moves up my belly. Its all between 10-15 minutes apart. Ive been drinking water and laying on my left side and I have tried moving around to see if they stop but then they get worse (painfully) They arent unbearable just enough to make me stop what I am doing until it passes. THey last about 1 minute. What do youladies think? This is my 3rd baby but my youngest (for now) is 7, my brain has forgotten alot since then. should I call?

    That sounds like contractions to me, but I have nothing to compare it to.  The fact that they are happening every 10 minutes really makes me think you should call!

    Could be, but I would wait until they pick up if I were you. At almost 37w, they won't stop labor, and they won't want to see you until they're closer together. GL!

    I would call since your experiencing it every 10 minutes.
