Lower back pain for the last 2 hours 40 weeks plus 3

[sassie23]

Morning
Don't know if anyone is up but i have been having dull lower backache which woke me up at 4am and has come and gone since. It hasn't increased in intensity and hasn't moved round to my tummy, Im three days overdue and constantly waiting for something to start everything off. Am I being too sensitive to every little twinge??
Thanks

I would have a shower or bath and see if that helps.

Hi Sas, may be the start of things . This happened to me when I was 10 days overdue with no2. I was going in that night to be induced and during the afternoon I had twinges in my back but didn't think anything of it . My contractions didn't start until around midnight, so hang in there ! Then I put 2 + 2 together !

Lots of luck

oooohhh maybe you're on your way, I certainly had lower back pain/aching with mine as thats what I get when I have my periods!!!

keep us informed and GOOD LUCK!!

went back to bed and managed to get some sleep for a couple of hours but tense period feeling still there now and had some diarrohea sorry TMI after I got back up this morning. Going for a hospital appointment this afternoon so hopefully they will tell me what they think then
Thanks for you replies first time I posted anything here
Sas

oh thats an even better sign - when in early labour your body tries to purge things so as not to have to deal with it when having baby!!

hosp will probably examine you and see if you're on your way
