I am 40 weeks +5 days and i get a pain in my lower back that feels almost as if the baby has pressed on a nerve. It lasts for a few seconds then goes away, but is inconsistant through out the day.
I keep going from one extreme to the other with my bowel movements going from several times in one day to nothing for a couple.of days.
I had a sweep on friday with a BS of 6 and have had a lot of show. Eventually the mucas went away and it turned into a brown liquid substance.
Baby is active...in am he will kick occasionally then become active in the afternoon and evening.
My stomach tightens when I get the back pain and my breath is taken away.
My worry is that i am not accepting the labour as i have a high pain threshold. I am in pain but not as much as I have been led to beleive I would be in. For some background when i broke my arm in three places it felt no worse than a sprain and I didn't go to a doctor for a week until I noticed my arm was an odd shape.
Do you think this could be anything? Or am I just worrying?
