Back Contractions

[shacacon]

I know its possible to have back contractions without feeling them in my front and I am so worried thats what im having bc my back has been killing me! How exactly can you time back contractions!? Im 35 weeks!

[shacacon]

When are you due!?

[Claytonsmomkmr]

We're getting close! I'm super excited! And I can't wait to sleep on my belly again!!!

[shacacon]

Yea I am right along the same lines as you!! I feel nothing up front and only at night mainly and I feel her moving jus not during those times

[Claytonsmomkmr]

Yeah. I still feel him move. He's pretty all over the place.. but when I'm having the contractions he's pretty calm.. i usually have them in the morning and in the evening.. not a lot during the day though.. and that down time with the contractions is when he is the most active.. my doc says If i dont feel my little one move and I'm worried, drink a tall glass of ice cold water, it will wake him up, then eat something sugary to get him going, then lay on my left side for an hour.. I should feel 6-10 movements or more in that hour.. it works every time..

[shacacon]

Do you still feel the baby move!? Last time I went to the hospital when i was told I was in early labor they told me I was having contractions but I couldnt feel it.

[shacacon]

Oh boy. I am feeling jus like you and im 35 weeks and my doctor told me if I go in labor they wont stop it

[Claytonsmomkmr]

Ot freaked me out at first so I went to the hospital.. they said I am having back contractions.. so that Def what they are.. I'll be 36 weeks on sunday so they are letting them continue and if I go into labor then they have decided I'm far enough along that they won't stop it..

[shacacon]

Thats exactly what im feeling @claytonsmommykmr

[Claytonsmomkmr]

Dido! I feel nothing in the front.. just intense pain and tightening in my back.. it rolls into my hips and then a sharp pain in my whoo-ha.. it comes and goes but it isn't lasting too long.. maybe 10-15 seconds... guess I just gotta wait for it to get stronger.

My braxton hicks cause back pain.  They wake me at night with back pain in my lower back that doesn't let up until the BH goes away.  As soon as belly gets soft back pain goes away.  My doc says this is pretty typical.

Agreed I have no idea what front labor feels like.

[TheeMothership]

Ohhh my my my ladies, I had back labor, didn't feel them anywhere else.... You'll know it starts slow like a rollercoaster just as they describe all contractions it gets bad like you fell off a ten story building and then starts to lighten up... You can time then just fine when they're strong enough. Now please explain braxtons to me and what regular contractions feel like, as my back starts hurting from talking about it Lol!!

[Jessbabygirl1]

Yes they come and go

[Jessbabygirl1]

I will tell you there is no mistaking back contractions they brought me to tears more then once. My hubby had to put his fist in my back hard to help with the pain. There is no mistaking of them

[meaganmommy11]

Do they come n go

[Claytonsmomkmr]

I am also interested in hearing some responses.  I have been having them and I know that's what they are because I went to the hospital for it.. but i dont really know how to time them.. it's kind of hard to tell...
