Lower Back Pain

Ok, so I got up this morning to go to work, but even while I was in bed I was getting severe pain in my lower back and my hips. It gets worse when I have a braxton hicks. I don't think it's actual labour because it isn't consistent, but I did break down in tears 2x this morning. My husband even considered staying home with me.

 This sucks!

Ugh, that's not fun. Try resting on your hands and knees (or on your knees over a ball or couch/pillows) and rock side to side for a while, it should take some pressure off.

I have been dealing with mild lower back pain today as well, but not consistently.  But if I were you, since it's so painful, you may want to call the doc and describe this to him just incase it is something.

Happy to report that the pains are slowing down. I'm really hoping that these are just BH and back pain and not pre-labour. They haven't been consistent but I was really getting worried. I'll keep an eye on them through the day. I'd like my little guy to cook a little longer!!

Ugh.  I hear ya.  My back pain has been pretty constant over the past week or so.  Mine is really just with movement, especially walking.  The other day, it was radiating into my hip -- not fun!  I feel like such an invalid, waddling/shuffling around.

If your back pain is really intense and is present no matter if you're laying still, walking, or whatever, I would maybe call your doc to be safe.
