How do I know if it’s back labor??

Question

I have had horrible Braxton Hicks for weeks but now my back is in excruciating pain and I have some severe pelvic pain too. It’s just my lower back but it’s bad. I tried readjusting but nothing helps. I’m 38w4d and have an appointment tomorrow. I’m probably gonna wait until then to get checked if I can fall asleep. Just want some ideas on how you ladies knew!

Answer

Back labor is excruciating. You won’t be able to breathe during a contraction. I started off with normal contractions during labor and they were very manageable. Once it moved to my back there was no comparison

Answer

I took a hot bath. Had bad bad back pain and even laying down my stomach kept tightening up. After a few hours I couldnt get comfortable and was extremely irritable. It was go time

Answer

Honestly the only way I can think to describe my back labor is I felt like I could literally feel my hips separating. My Braxton Hicks hurt but it was rainbows and butterflies in comparison.

Answer

I have no other way to describe it besides it felt like someone stabbing me in my lower back repeatedly.  Or someone taking a hammer to you. That’s how horrible back pain is. It’s super excruciating and it doesn’t go away at all 😖

Answer

I had back pain as well but the diffrence u will notice it will get worse and it will take ur breath away if u are in labor also i would just call ur obyn just to make sure. Or u can wait it out depends on your pain.  Best wishes and keep us updated plz
