Since about 28w I've had back spasms that paralyze me and take my breathe away. They occur in a wave fashion, low to peak to low. They can be in my entire back but more recently I been feeling it in my lower back and hip area. I've noticed they are way more painful than when they started at 28w. They don't happen everyday but usually almost everyday and multiple episodes, sometimes for hours. I get cramping in my lower pelvic area with these only sometimes. I had them last night up until I went to bed at 5am. Got up at 9am, took care of my 18mo, I felt okay. I did take a nap, and while I was sleeping, I was dreaming of this pain and i was in actual pain in my dream. So badly, that I woke up and was having back spasms. Doesn't matter which position I tried to move into, they kept coming. They seemed to slow now about 30 mins from waking. Still have a above normal sore lower back. No cramping associated this time. I've brought this up to my OB twice, they told me it's normal and that there isn't anything they can do. I wasn't too worried until now that I was awoken by them being that bad. I don't want to waste a call to be checked out and told nothing is wrong with me. Anyone else going through something like this and did you get checked out and find something was going on?
