Back pain concern?!

On and off since mid day I get EXTREMELY painful lower left back pain. I tolerate pain rather well so id assume its pretty bad on the scale. it lasts anywhere from 3-5 minutes then its a constant dull pain. I did already lose my mucus plus a few days ago but no contractions and no leakage or water breakage of course. Could this be early signs of labor or should it be anything of concern?

Some people only experience contractions in their back.. And although I didn't experience that what I did experience is that my contractions were never consistent so I was waiting for them to be whatever they wanted something like every 3-5 minutes for a minute and it never happened! Thankfully my husband made me go to the hospital and I was already 6cm dilated! Lol so I'd say you may be seeing you're baby soon! Good luck! :)

No you're water does not always break.  Mine didn't with either of my first two. It's not overreacting at all. I would go in if I were you.

It could be labor mama. It's not the same for everyone.  Some only get back pain.  I'd call your doc,  esp if they are coming at regular intervals.
