Back labor

Destanie

I need some advice on how to deal with back labor. I’m in such excruciating pain and I don’t know what to do. I just got sent home from the hospital and I’ve been having contractions since early this morning but I’m stuck at 1 cm. They said the pain is so bad because I’m having back labor. Please help any advice would be very appreciated.

Counter pressure !! Hands and knees. A tens unit if at all possible for you to get your hands on one. Using a rebozo or sheet to “shake the apple tree” or lift and sift your belly (YouTube) good luck mama !!!

I went through back labor and I just had my boyfriend or mom put pressure on my lower back or sometimes even massage it during the contraction. The hands and knees method didn't work for me felt like it made it worse. I used the medicine ball and moved my hips around while on it and also having my boyfriend put pressure while on the ball. I also tried the bath and that helped a lot too. I took a bath when I was at 4 cm then again at 7 cm because I was stuck at 7 I got in the bath and bam here comes baby. While I was in the hospital they gave me laughing gas which didn't help the contractions really it just helped me control my breathing. They also gave me something in my iv I don't remember what it was called i didn't have an epidural. Back labor is the worse :( I hope this helps and I hope you have a speedy recovery and a healthy baby. 💛

Put pressure on your back, ask you husband to put his hand on his lower back and gently push against it.
