So got woken up twice last night with really bad leg cramps (both at seperate times in each leg)

I'm 38wks

Is this anything to be concerned about?

Going to see my consultant tomorrow morning anyway for a regular check up.

Having lots of lower back pain past couple of days too, with a lot of pressure down below, & loosr bowels.

I'm 28 wks and I've already started getting leg cramps, don't think they are anything to worry about just another pregnancy symptom. I know I had them a lot with my first too.
On the plus side though it does sound like things are going in the right direction for you, might be the start of early Labour.

Nothing to worry about (I had them both times) but obviously very painful for you! Make sure you drink lots of water x
