Could this be labour?

Am getting cramps across the lower section of my ribcage at the back. Slightly on the right hand side, but near my spine rather than to the edge.

Too high to be labour right?

Baby is head down and very low.

Am 37wks today.

you could be in labour, but I have no experience of back pain like that in pg, labour or otherwise, so I can't say...

best to call your hospital triage or antenatal ward, they can give you the best advice on what's next.

if you feel you are in a lot of pain, you can take paracetamol and have a hot bath.
