3rd Trimester

back spasms

I have had braxton hicks pretty frequently since about 26 weeks. It is not uncommon for me to have 6-8 in an hour and my doctor is not concerned because they have not changed my cervix at all. He pretty much said that I don't need to worry until I have discharge of some sort....I have not, but I have started to have back spasms over the past couple days. I have been traveling and not sleeping much so I think it may just be part of being tired, BUT part of me also hopes its things getting prepared. I don't want to HAVE the baby now, but this is my third and last and i've been induced with the other two so i'd love for this one to come on his own.

Re: back spasms

  • This doesn't help, but I had what I assume was my first back spasm a few nights ago.  It was soo painful.  I don't know if there's any correlation to them and your body preparing for labor or not.  In my case, I hope not since I have awhile to go yet.

  • Lower back pain is a sign of early labor ... but it also just comes with the territory while pregnant!  Take a nice warm bath and curl up with a dozen pillows, I'd bet it's due to the lack of sleep & travel.  Good luck :)
