Ok so I'm going to start off with... I'll be 38 weeks tomarrow and I have high back pain tolerance because I have had alot of back issues in the past... well last night I started having more Braxton hicks then normal around 8ish I drank water and laid down nothing changed I got up to go pee and came back to bed to relax because my back was in alot of pain. it would come and go and the Braxton hicks came back and didn't stop till I got up to go pee again. after that time my back was still hurting on and off and by this time it's midnight, I'm do wide awake but also tired from all the back pain. the baby kept moving in between though. and I continued to have back pain still even now. I finally was able to fall asleep around 4-4:30am this morning. kept waking up to the pain that was shooting down to my hops and my legs were so unconfertable. am I having back contractions?
