Should I go to L&D?

Question

I’m 38 weeks + 1. I started having lower back pain last night and it continued throughout the night. Still going on today and it’s constant. I’m also having cramping that comes and goes in my lower tummy area. Changing positions doesn’t help. Moving my body hurts. This has been going on for about an hour and a half now. Do I need to go in?

Answer

Could be the start of labor but definitely not where you would be going to the hospital. If you are concerned though you should call your on call line and speak to the OB. Describe your symptoms and they will be able to tell you if it’s something to worry about.

Answer

I had labor like this with my first child! It started the same way and then it got more intense hours later, I didn’t know there was a such thing as back labor until I went to the hospital and was told I was in labor!! The whole time during active labor it was in my back. So give your doctor a call, I hope everything turns out wonderful ❤️

Answer

If you notice they become closer together and where you have a hard time breathing and taking through then go in. However could just be Braxton Hicks or even padromal labour try having some water and or food, shower or bath and see if that makes any difference if not maybe time them and see how far apart it is. If your overly worried or anything then you can always call the labour and delivery and they suggest what to do. Best of luck.
