What does back labor feel like in the beginning

Question

Just curious, for the mommas who have had their babies, when the back labor first started what did it feel like?? I’m wondering if I might have a UTI or possible back labor pains starting so just looking for some insight on how it felt for you ladies

Answer

Have your period cramps ever given you achey, dull pains in your lower back?
Imagine that x100. 😂😋

Answer

Back labor for me feels like I get struck my lightening and it takes my breath away. Like my bones are breaking, in my lower back. If you’ve experienced any sciatic pain during pregnancy it’s sharp like that, but over your whole area above your butt.

Answer

For me it feels like shooting pain across low back into the legs and butt. I had nothing in the front except that tightening feeling.

Answer

It literally felt like someone was trying to break my lower back in half. I didn’t realize it was back labor till my water broke. But it’s very painful, at least it was for me.

Answer

For me I didn’t even know back labor existed until it happened to me 😩 they feel like sporadic back spasms . Very painful .

Answer

My labor was completely different from the norm. I started having cramps that we like period pains. They were a couple hours apart and got closer but never when past 20 min. Then on the day I gave birth they were getting about ten min apart. But they were never severe pains a couldn’t handle. I was walking around going to dinner with friends and even went to work the day I delivered. I was only howling in pain for like an hour and a half. Then boom the baby was born. Mind you I was alone at home with no help... my labor was like maybe 2/3 hours... didn’t even have time to get to the hospital. 
I would just relax and see. If it is a persistent pain then it might be an infection but if it comes and goes then it may be Braxton hick or early labor. 
I would call the nurse doctor hotline at your OBGYN if your really concerned.
