Menstrual cramps and back pain?

Question

I am 37 weeks exactly. Last night I woke up around 3:00AM with some mild but consistent menstrual-like cramps and lower back pain. It lasted until about 5:00. This is the first time I have experienced this. Is this normal?

Answer

I had cramps and back ache the other night, felt nauseous. Baby is still cooking :)

Answer

You can try a heat pad and see if that relieves it. My doctor says that if that doesn't help make your back feel better it's most likely back labor I stead of aches.

Answer

I’m 37 weeks and 1 day and almost every night been feeling that for about a week. I’m guessing it’s our bodies getting prepared 😁

Answer

I’ve been getting something similar for the past couple days off and on. I’m hoping it’s the beginning of labor.

Answer

My ob did tell me many times labor might start in your back and you'll get consistent pain in ya tummy...your belly should feel hard
