Back labor?

Question

I'm 35 weeks + 5 days with di/di twins. I've been getting what I thought were braxton hicks since Monday. Yesterday evening I started really getting them however, I felt my stomach tighten a lot of pelvic pressure but I felt the pain all in my back. Since then, my lower back has been hurting so bad. I haven't had anymore tightening contractions, but my lower back is killing me. Nothing I do helps me get comfortable. Could this be back labor?

Answer

I'm dilated to a 2, all they said was my uterus is irritated and sent me home.

Answer

Go get checked.  I had back labor with my daughter and it sounds like exactly what your describing.

Answer

I would definitely go get checked! You can never be too safe with twins!

Answer

It sure could be. I had regular tightenings on Monday at 34+3 (also thought my water was leaking a, but it wasn’t) and they did a spec and seen I was 2cm dilated, internal u/s showed cord presentation for B who is head down. Admitted with threatened pre term labour, and given steroids and I will be having c section tomorrow.
I would get checked, I’m not sure how they treat twins where you are but in Australia if you notice any signs of labour they want you to be seen ASAP.
