back labor?

kbunskbuns
in January 2011 Moms
I have been having sever lower back pains for the last two hours. How would I know if its back labor? They are coming around every 3 mins and lasting anywhere from 1 to 2 mins ( with pain in between but not horrible). Enough to take my breath away and make me tense up? Is this back labor? Any info would be helpful. I'm at work for the next hour so nothing I can do but sit here and wonder. Thank you ladies!

    Definitely could be.  The frequency and time-ability is what makes me think you may be having contractions.  If you are having back labor, I hope LO turns around before it gets full-blown.  Every 3 mins is pretty close.  I would call your OB.
    I give up trying to get a ticker.  I have a DD that is 2.5 years old and is awesome.  Maybe I'll add a quote to distinguish myself.  Hmmm.  How about...

    Sounds like it could be.  I'd get into a hands and knees position if you can tolerate it, will take some of the pressure off your back.  You can do some arches too to try to encourage baby to turn around.

    Hmmm...it sounds like it could be.  The fact that you have pain in between contractions is very telling (in my non-medical opinion, of course!).  I had back labor last time, and in early labor, the hardest part about it was that the pain was constant, so I couldn't really time the contractions.  I agree that you should call the doctor.

    Good luck!
