Back pain w Braxton Hicks?

Question

I have been having Braxton Hicks for a few weeks. Today it feels somewhat similar but now has added some fairly significant pain to the low and mid back. FTM 33 wks 3 days. Anyone know if this is usual/expected? I have an OB appt tomorrow so I’d rather not go to L&D if not necessary. Not seeing a specific frequency bc they don’t really go away. Does seem like the tightening in belly gets better w standing but not the back pain.

Answer

Something that helps me with the back pain during contractions: get on your hands and knees and move your hips/butt in circles (both ways). Try to do it for a total of 20 mins or more per day. Make sure only your hips are moving (not your shoulders).

Answer

It’s possible it’s babies position. I’ve noticed this time around my Braxton Hicks are sometimes accompanied with severe back pain due to baby being transverse compared to my first who was head down and in perfect position.

Answer

Could be due to just the position of baby. If their face is currently facing your belly then often it can cause some back discomfort

Answer

As long as they’re not getting consistent/close together you should be fine to wait and bring it up with your on at your appointment tomorrow. But if you’re ever worried about something you can just call your doctor without going in, they should always have someone on-call after hours to talk to. ♥️
