I had back labor with both my boys. When I delivered my second son I told my midwife that I had my membranes stripped earlier that day, she told me that was why I was having such bad back labor:( My doctor with my first pregnancy did it for me too , just to get my labor going and I had really bad back labor than too:( Try laying on a heating pad on low, a nice bath and some tyenol might help too...I definitly think your little man is on his way though...good luck!

first off don't change your liner...if there is any more fluid go to the hospital, let them see how much/color. and when you go up you "pain level" a bit, make it a bit more dramatic, really put on a show, sometimes its the only way to be taken seriously. Also I know someone who ws having back pain all day...caller her neighbour who was her obgyn to come check her before she went out to a dinner party, when the Dr checked her she was like 5-6cm dialated so was sent directly to the hospital and had the baby with 1-2hrs of going to the hospital...mind you she was planing on going to this dinner party...so do what you have to to make them take you seriously, and say you won't leave...that they have to do something about the pain...be very demanding

it also sounds to me like you lost fluid. sometimes it comes out slowly and there isnt a big gush when your water breaks. and if this is the case, then your pretty safe to go to the hospital. i also wouldnt have sex or put anything else up there because it can cause infection.

the other thing to consider is if yu have insuarence that pays for ambulances, call 911, go by ambulance, here at least that is the best way to be taken serious and to get looked at faster. If you are in so much pain that it's making you cry then you need to go to the hospital, being uncomfortable is one thing....but pain is another

It sounds like you are having back labour and it also sounds like you have lost some fluid
Can you at least call labour and delivery and tell them about the fluid and that the back pain is getting worse.
