My labor started in my back then moved to hips, butt, thighs. Eventually started feeling like really bad period cramps. Didn't think I was in labor until pain was unbearable n water started leaking.

Thats exactly how my labor was, my contractions felt like cramps until i was 8cm dialated. I would call your doctor or go straight to l&d.

Thank you. And you could be going into labor especially if you feel like you cant stay comfortable in bed.
