If I wasn't 33 weeks pregnant I would think my period is coming!

[fisil]

Nothing regular, nothing like contractions, just spasmodic pain in my lower back, sometimes mild, sometimes quite hurty.

Is this normal? My cold has reached the achey stage and I fell downstairs last week and I have just got back to the constipation after a tummy bug, all of which could give back pain. Reassurance please!

This is how my labour started at just under 33 weeks. I too thought it felt like period pain. It may well go away but be prepared just in case.

Oh dear - anyone got an "it went away" story? mears? pupuce?

Can't help.... sorry ! how are you today?

fisil I felt like this when preg with ds can't remeber exactly when, but at least a month before he was born. It came and went a bit. Think it was my bones objecting to the extra weight/lack of exercise.

why not phone the midwives and ask them what they think, especially as you have had a fall. Have they got a number you can call if you are worried?

I am seeing my midwife on Monday so I'll ask then - it sounds like lots of people feel this too.

Ooops, forgot to say thank you to everyone!

oh fisil, i'm feeling like this too, and I'm 35wks pg and absolutely NOT ready for an early labour in any way at all! Still at work, stressed, tired, baby's room needs a cot, carpet, blind etc.... FIngers crossed for the both of us that we just need to take it a bit easy (am going home this afternoon to sleep).....

btw, the baby is no-where near engaged (bump still very high, could swear he/she still somersaulting in there).... does this mean definitely no early labour (please someone say it's so...)

fisil, have been speaking to my mother who is a gp, and she wonders whether I have a urinary infection. I feel fine in that dept, but she suggests i pee into a clear glass, and if it is cloudy, to take a sample in to your mw/gp for testing, as that can bring on the symptoms you have been describing. I've done it, definite cloudiness there.... hoooray if it's nothing more than that!

I'm 25 weeks this week and have turned into an emotional wreck. Crying at any given moment for the stupidest reasons. Snapping at my DH - he's trying to organise my birthday dinner and everything he's planning sounds awful to me - that's upsetting me too.....
I'm not sleeping - very uncomfortable at night - even with the use of a body pillow.

Does anyone have any advice????? PLEASE!!!!

Fisil, I had that too and it was because E was OP and pressing on the base of my spine. Do you know which way round your baby is?

emotionalmummytobe try starting a new conversation (see blue highlighted Click here just above) or your query will get buried and you won't get as many replies.
