I had that my entire previous pregnancy. It is sciatic nerve pain. You can move suddenly, even slowly, and have this sharp stabbing pain that leaves you motionless (basically STUCK in that position) and gasping for air. My DH would freak out every time that happened to me because I wasn't physically able to move.

Make sure you lay on your left side, pillow between the knees. That may help. Also try pelvic tilts (get on hands and knees and dip your belly to the floor, then arch your back like a cat on Halloween).

If baby is in that position, there's not much you can do about it except what I've just told you. So sorry you're in pain!!!

yeah i took a bath and it hasnt stopped im not having those sharp sharp pains but i am having a really dull like pressure along my lower back/spine. im not having pains but mostly the pressure like someones pushing back there. maybe if lay down it might stop?

If it keeps doing it or getting worse I would call the doc, your really close to having this baby and it sounds as if you have back labor like alaysha said. I wish you luck and hope everything works out.

alright. im sitting on the couch and every once n awhile it gets really really sore and then eases up. and i keep having like nerve shocks in my thighs. thanks!

alaysha · Answer

Its possible that he hit a nerve down there... but you also could have back labor. I'd keep an eye on it and if it keeps happening pretty consistantly than go to the hospital. I can't believe you are almost there!!! I remember when you first announced that you were pregnant! Congrats girl!
