[Vxn]

Hello all - I'm almost 36 wks - having dull, almost constant back pain across my coxycs with sporadic light menstrual like cramps.  Also slight increase in discharge - but no blood - what do you all think?

You could be in the beginning stages of labor.  Because you arent full term yet you need to call your doctor for advice.

I agree with the other ladies, dont get to concerned until the pain becomes increasingly painful. You'll know your in labour, you wont even want to talk or move if your having contractions. They are probably braxton hicks. Just be paitent you'll be holding your lil one in no time :)

My sister told me if you have continuos pains coming from your back to your front as if it were tightening the muscles you could be in early labour, but she had these pains for 5 days and then had to be induced.  Hope everything goes well when you go into labour best of luck!!

If your not having consistent contractions that get worse and more intense as time goes on then it is unlikely that you are in real labor.  Sounds like it is likely BH contractions, you can definitely get a dull back ache from having those.
