Consistent Low Back Pain - early labor?

Question

I’m 38 weeks today and I had sciatica for most of my pregnancy until about 34 weeks.  Since then, I’ve felt way better!  About an hour ago, I started feeling very low back pain again all of the sudden.  But it doesn’t get better when I sit, which was the case before.  It’s not coming and going like contractions (2nd baby so I’ve been through normal labor before) but I’m wondering if this could still be the early stages of labor?  Or back labor?  Anyone experience this?

Answer

I had lower back pain for 3 days that didn’t feel like contractions, but was fairly consistent (but would randomly come and go). When I got induced they said they were contractions after all, so it’s possible!

Answer

I am wondering the same thing . By my tailbone area it hurts so bad to walk I’ve went to chiropractor and had a massage done today nothing Is helping and now I’m getting sciatic nerve pain down my right leg . This is my 3rd never had this before and I’m wondering if this is back labor or what it is !

Answer

This sounds exactly how my labor was the entire time! I actually never had anything that felt like a contraction. It was all in my back the entire time so I had no idea I was even in labor, until I went into the hospital and I was already 7 cm.

Answer

That’s exactly how my early labor was this time. The only thing that helped was soaking in the bath. I was in there literally from 5pm Wednesday night to 5am Thursday morning and had baby at 7:23am on Thursday! I wasn’t sure if it was labor either since it wasn’t coming and going but then I started getting contractions too after a while.

Answer

Thats early labor. And its back contractions.
