back labour/contractions

[schenner2]

For anyone who has previously experienced back labour Does it intensity like a contraction? Having some middle back pain that contracts much like a contraction with a peak period.  No abdominal contractions but belly is really tight.  With my first i just had menstrual like cramps which intensified into contractions in time. Just about 38 weeks and first was born at 37 so i am wondering if the time is near.   Thanks in advance

The back pain could just be the start of labor. With my 1st I had severe back labor as he was transverse in the birth canal (his face was up instead of the correct position). It was terribly painful-I labored 17 hrs (back labor) naturally with him it was awful. Good luck... Many blessings.

Hoping so. They are about 15 minutes apart and pretty strong.

Update:  woke up crazy early with cramps and low back pain! Maybe today is the day!   This is how my first labour started!

I was wondering the same because my back will pulsate really bad to the point where I can't move idk what it is

Thanks!  We will see how the night goes.   Just wish there was a tell tale sign that you were in early labour.
