Back pain and TMI....

Diarrhea.
Yes for the last day a have had a constant aching back pain along with diarrhea. I know that both of these symptoms can be early signs of labor but can also mean nothing.
I am really currious if any if you ladies have had experience with this you could share and how you helped cope with the back pain
TIA

Re: Back pain and TMI....

  • I haven't really found anything to help with the back pain, but mine is both pinched nerves and a backwards baby.

  • I know it all too well. This entire pregnancy I have had issues with constipation. The other day, constipated and literally an hour later diarrhea. How does that even happen?! I didn't do or eat anything differently.

    The back pain is out of control. My legs shake because of the pain and I can feel a popping in my lower back. Warm baths help (but I have PUPPPs so I can't take baths anymore as the heat makes it worse) Also just Tylenol and heating pad takes the edge off sometimes. Just hard to position the heating pad when you are constantly moving and uncomfortable. Also, try getting a massage maybe or seeing a chiropractor if it is an option? Good luck! :)

  • Getting on all fours and doing cat-cows (curling up your back then straightening your back repeatedly) help the best with back pain for me. Sometimes crawling around on all fours helped too (it's also super sexy at this point, lol).
  • The day before I had my son I honestly thought I had the stomach flu. I was throwing up and diarrhea all day. I went to sleep and woke up at midnight, lost my mucus plug, and started having contractions. Griffin was born 8 hours later.

  • @daniellelovesjacob could Griffin be any cuter?? omg. And I love his name. Do you call him Griff for short?

    I'm feeling a bit of back pain but it could just be how I'm sitting in my desk chair because I'm only feeling it on one side. And my stomach has been weird. I keep convincing myself anything could be a sign it's starting..right??!?!?
