36 weeks pregnant, can't sleep cause of back pain,

[Peagle]

Hi all,

Might be being a drama lama but thought I would post on here to get some advice.

I have been awake for the last 2 hours with really bad back pain and period like cramps. The back pain started this afternoon and feels like it is shooting down my thighs. I'm 36 weeks and this is my second pregnancy (had to be induced with dd)

Could this be the start of labour? (Bag not packed, no baby clothes down from the loft yet, argh!!)

Also add I feel really nausus (not sure if that's anything to do with the back pain though!)

Thanks for reading

I'd pack a bag just in case. If the period cramps get closer together and stronger then chances are it could be labour. I'd get checked out if you're not sure.
