Could this be impending labor?

Question

Ive been having excruciating back pain and i no longer cant walk more than 5 steps without sitting down because it hurts horribly to walk. My baby has been head down and engaged since week 29. I am now 35+1 and my baby is estimated to be about 8lbs now. When is this going to be over 😭😭😭 ive also been having contractions.

Answer

Same here mama! My lo has been head down and engaged since 30 weeks. It's so painful! Feels like I got drop kicked in the cooka. I've also been having tons of Braxton hicks and period like cramping and horrible sciatica in my right leg. 
This is my third baby, dr says we are completely fine and nothing to worry about. But we can still complain right!! Wish I could sleep until my due date! lol

Answer

It sounds like your having back labor. It could be the early signs of labor. Try taking a warm bath the relieve some of the pain.

Answer

I'm feeling the same way! My lower back is killing me and I'm having so many Braxton hicks mixed in with some real ones too. Plus I lost my mucus plug a few days ago. I'm only 33+5

Answer

Same here ! I'm 35+2 and my back is killing me, inconsistent contractions, but not to painful. Water helps but I'm nervous

Answer

My midwife said real labour will make your toes curl... If that helps you figure it out...

Answer

Laying here in tears now feeling the same way! I've been taking Tylenol around the clock it feels like and no relief.

Answer

Chiropractor really helps, heating pad, bath and lower backs stretches.
