Back contractions ?

Question

Should I time those if they are consistent? 
I’m 39 weeks today just wondering if I should consider those as real contractions or not 
They tend to wrap around to my hips and go down my thighs so anyone think those are actual contractions if they are consistent?

Answer

That sounds like « real » contractions. I was told that these started in your back and that it was the way to differentiate them from BH. 
If they’re consistent, 5 minutes apart and lasting 1 minute for about 1 hour, I’d definitely go to L&D. 
Good luck to you!

Answer

Yes absolutely! All my contractions were in my back as I ended up with back labour throughout. Definitely wouldn’t rule anything out at this stage Hun x

Answer

Yes time them! I’ve been having the most frustrating time today trying to figure stuff out too. The contractions started in my back and then they wrap around the front and I have strong menstrual like cramps for about 20 second each. Theyve been on and off alllll day. A few times I had them 5-7 mins apart but they keep dying out. I read that this is called the latent phase and is a good indication that active labor is approaching very soon!
