Change? Or Nothing?

Question

38 weeks tomorrow & suddenly the lower back pain is more. And its getting aggravated just by standing at the sink or cooking dinner or vacuuming. I literally have to stop & sit. This is new. Is this indicate of just being big or that babe is engaging???

Answer

Following... back pain has definitely intensified and if I stand or lay down I get Braxton Hicks every 5-8mins very uncomfortable but not consistent:/ I’m just hope so bad it turns to labour tonight.

Answer

I’m 37 & 4 and have been feeling like this since I hit 36 weeks. My back and hips are aching. My groin keeps getting shots of pain and I can’t stand for too long without stopping to lean on something or sitting down.

Answer

Feeling the same at 39 weeks. Went into the ER at 38weeks 4 days because of contractions from cleaning. Literally had to sit down every few minutes until I couldn’t take it and my back was hurting so bad. Still having them tonight(right now) and they told me I was dilated by 2cm early this morning.. doctor said it’s a sign we’re pretty close to labor and may induce before due date next Friday. The more active you are this late the more it’ll be preterm labor symptoms

Answer

I would say it's more just the being big while doing things, especially like dishes where you can be hunched as it is over the sink and dishwasher. Unless of course it's accompanied by contractions or Braxton Hicks.
