Back Contractions?

For the past two days I have been having really bad lower back pain. Its like a sharp & dull pain at the same time. I'm thinking its the baby lowering down in my back. Sorry if its tmi, but its gotten to the point to where I cant have a bowel movement or gas pass through. I'm up all night dealing with this pain. I'm 39 weeks. Could this be back contractions?

Never hurts to ask your doctor! Contractions usually start from your back and wrap around your tummy. It kindof sounds like your baby may just be lowering deeper but you never know!
