Lower Back Pain

[Keyonasw]

Okay I'm due in 15 days and since last night I've had very bad lower back pain I've also been feeling like I need to use the bathroom and feeling very nauseous is this normal or should I be worried

[t_bree8]

Sounds normal to me, but if you are concerned then call your doctor to make sure.

[t_bree8]

Do you feel like you have to poop?

[Keyonasw]

Yes I've pooped once earlier but nothing else just the feeling

[t_bree8]

I would give your doctor a call and just let them know your symptoms and see what they say. Are you having contractions at all in the front?

[Keyonasw]

Yes I've been dealing with the contractions as well.. I've taken a hot bath and I'm using a heat pad and although the contractions are coming and leaving the back pain is almost unbearable

[t_bree8]

So how far apart are you contractions? Are they consistent?

[Crazyjo]

If your contraction is consistent.. You might be going to labour... I suggest for you to grab a pen and paper and time it then go to your doctor and tell the intervals. Record atleast 4 or more

[Keyonasw]

they are like 10 to 15 minutes apart  

[t_bree8]

Yeah it sounds like you are in labor. You should call your doctor and let them know and they will let you know what to do from there. Good luck

That's how I started off labour with my daughter at night  just felt the need to lay down and stayed in bed most of the next day and by afternoon back pain got pretty intense and she was born early the next morning .... good luck mumma :-) if Ur concerned just call the nurses xx
