Contractions only in

Hips? Is this possible? I'm having pain in my hips & it's radiating down my legs.

I don't think it's contractions.. I think it's your body preparing for baby, as in, opening up more. I feel hip pain and leg pain every night for about a couple of weeks now and dr said its normal , I'm 36Wk

I had back labor, but I could feel my stomach tightening and I'd get a severe pain in my back (like a back spasm of you ever had one) and then my back labor would go into my hips and radiate down my legs... I'd try walking and a bath, usually you can at least feel a tightening in your stomach if they are contractions but not always, so just keep timing and see what happens

I lost a bit of plug a few weeks ago but it can regenerate. But no bloody show yet. I'm going to have a bath and see if that helps

I would time them and then call the doctor and let  him know....it could be preterm labor your body just getting ready have you last your mucous plug yet

No. Ibut it feels like its a consistent wave if that makes sense. I'm 36 weeks Monday but measuring about 3 weeks ahead. I don't want to go in for nothing but idk if it's back labour. I've always had contractions in the front lol. Do you still have tightening in the front  with back labour?

Could be just pressure I feel like that and I think it's just the pressure from the baby pushing down

It's not a pinched nerve that's for sure.

That sounds more like a pinched nerve. Contractions definitely aren't in your legs.
