cramps and back pain
28+5 today and ever since about 8:30am I've had pretty uncomfortable lower back pain, once I was up for a while and drove my hubs to work I started getting cramps that almost felt like I was gonna start a heavy period. I rested about 2 hours then started doing errands, where I noticed it hurts just to drive now, everytime I had to pick up my foot to either stop my car or gas it, my hips hurt! I'm resting now again and feel a little better but now my lower abdominal area(right under my bellybutton) just feels so sore and tender, even just pressing on it. Baby has been quiet today, however when I do look for him he respond with a strong kick or stretch so maybe he's just being lazy today? I'm not having any bleeding or strange discharge. Cause for concern or may this be part of BH??
Encee that's exactly what's going on :-( couldn't get comfortable for the life of me!! Next thing I know I'm asleep I actually just got up a few minutes ago, I do feel better, same back pain though just not as much. How you're feeling better as well! And thank you ladies for your responses, little man won't leave me alone now lol he always makes up for his laziness!
It could also be due to the hormone relaxin. It does what it sounds like, and relaxes everything in your body to accommodate the growing and expanding of the child. It commonly affects your lower back and hips.
For me its hard to say what is causing my back pain because I still don't have a belly
I've been having the same pains and my baby girl does exactly what your son does....he just having a lazy day :)...as long as he responds to you then everything is fine...and the back pain is due to the extra from your belly and the shift of gravity because everything is being pulled foward now....sitting up right and using a pillow behind your back.....the hip pain I'm not sure lol...I'm guessing another pregnancy joy...I'm 28+1 ftm :)
I'm a FTM hopefully this is normal at this time since we're both exact weeks. Due October 12 too :)
Interesting! I'm also 28+5 and started having back pains this morning. I went in the pool for a bit to cool down. Exercise a bit. Stretch.and it only got worse! Now I'm lying down trying to nap but I can't get comfortable :( I hope the pain doesn't last long for the both of us!
