I am 38+4 and have had BH for a good few weeks (second child) but last night had constant back pain - thought I had strained it but the level stayed the same whatever position I was in. During the night I had back ache / period type pains all night and the occasional painful contraction but nothing worth timing. Only slept 1 1/2 hours. I had a really long stop-start labour last time (back to back, 5 minute apart contractions for 3 1/2 days). Am really worried I am in for another long haul. Daughter was 6 days late. Just wondering whether other people kicked off with back pain / period type pains of whether this could just be my IBS. Also looking for some words of encouragement as am knackered and have to look after a toddler!
