contractions?

Hi! IM Currently 34 Weeks Pregnant, Baby Is In Position As Of This Morning When My OB Doctor Checked. I Keep Having These Sharp Sudden pains In My Lower Back And One Side Of My Stomach. Like My Stomach Is Getting Hard And The Back Pain Is Sudden In That It Startled Me Into Almost Needing To Stop Everything Till It Ends. They Are Coming In Waves Lasting A Few Moments And Then Will Stop And Return 4 Or 5 Mins Later For Roughly 45 Minutes Total. Anybody Else Experience This?

I would say it's the start of labor. I would try to either walk to get the contractions to become stronger or it will stop them if it is just BH.

I would lay down drink a bunch of water and put your feet up. It could be Braxton hicks and sometimes braxton hicks come because of dehydration if your atill having them after drinking a bunch of water and elevating your feet for a half hour then I would either call your Dr or go to L & D

Yea that definitely sounds like contractions. Try laying down & kicking up ur feet to see if it gets any better. Otherwise I would call ur doc back or go in.
