The past 3 days I have been experiencing some major back pain! I believe it is the way the baby is positioned- pushing on a nerve but it doesn't go away when I change positions. I have also noticed when my back starts to hurt that my stomach gets pretty hard. Are these BH? What can I do to relieve the pain? Today my back has been in pain ever since I woke up

Re: Serious back pain!!

  • It sounds like they could be, especially if the hardening is more upper belly than lower. I had a week of that, she could not get comfortable and the only way to stop it was to stand. I stood at work for 4 days at my desk and she finally rolled away and calmed down. I did call my MW and ended up in L&D when she clocked a contraction going on for 80secs. I was out in 2 hours when all was clear but it's worth a check.

  • I've been having the same thing. Using a heating pad and soaking in the tub has helped some.
  • It could be BH and it could be regular contractions. Some women have back labor but you would start to see some progression in contractions if that were the case.
  • I've had this happen twice now in two days. Oddly both times have been when I was in a vehicle. Friday night it happened for 40 minutes straight while I was driving home from work and I could barely stand it to drive. Yestwrday it happened again but for maybe 15 minutes.
  • I am having this too. My lower back hurts pretty much all the time now and it is worse when I am having a BH (I think I have finally figured out when I am having a BH). I think she is positioned on a nerve because it has gotten worse as she gets lower. I wish I had a tub that was big enough to relax in (ours is so tiny!). Stretching had helped me some and my husband rubbing my back helps too.
  • Get on your hands and knees lol it helps for me when I have serious back pain like that
  • I have these pains too. I had an inflatable swimming tube that my belly fits in and I can lay on my tummy for a while for some relief. Makes it easier to get a relaxed back rub too. The sad part is my dog popped it and I havebt had a chance to see if I can find a new one. Maybe try this out?
