back aches

Good morning ladies,

I have 4 1/2 weeks to go, but this morning I woke up with the worst lower backache! I wasn't sure if I had maybe slept on it wrong or something, but as the hours go by, I have started to feel the pain work toward my upper back, in my upper legs and toward the insides of my thighs and then underneath my belly. These additional aches are most noticed when I'm walking or when I try to lift my legs at all.

Anyone else going through this? Not sure if its just a way for my body to start preparing for the big show to come in the next few weeks or I should be concerned. Luckily I have my next appointment tomorrow afternoon, but should I call sooner or just chalk this up to the 3rd trimester joys?

Hmmm that's strange for it to be traveling like that.  Doesn't sound like labor at least. 

I would call your doctor and see if they have any ideas what's up.

Could it be the baby "dropping" that's causing a backache?
