quick help needed please

[starshaker]

was just wandering if u can be in labour and just have pain in ur back

yes you can, it happened to a friend of mine

It did to me too

at the start but then after several hours went to front as well

good luck

Yes it can... can you tell us more?
First baby ? term? what sort of pain?

I'm excited for you!! Let us know what happens!

It happened to me. It was absolutely horrible. Think dd was OP.

Aloha - I am not sure Starshaker is talking about contractions... or am I misunderstanding?

first baby 38 weeks my back is really sore then it goes away but comes back and pain killers not working

Comes and goes like what?

it will be really sore then its ok but comes back just as bad and worse if i move

Is it in lower back?

I couldn't stand sit or lie down nothing worked

IMHO I would get to hospital or ring midwife or whateveryour birth plan is

yeah its at the bottom of my back and sometimes my side

How long does the soreness last for ?
is it regular?
I wouldn't panic.

I was already in hospital and so was taken to labour ward

it lasts a while havent timed it to be honest but it goes away for bout 10 minsish i think

Do you think they are contractions... I mean is it regular? Does it come at the same pace and can you talk when it is happening?

yeah can talk but it really hurts feels like really bad period pain but when its gone its fine again

I will bow out now cos just realised that as pupuce is midwife she has way way more knowledge than me

And I amy be talking rubbish

Good luck

If this is every 10 minutes and these are contractions it is still (sorry!) early days.
If you are concerned you can call the labour ward, if you go in too early (10 mins apart will be) and you will be disappointed

thanx for ur help rtk x

Am NOT a midwife but a doula...
And i am only speaking from experience but I am not giving medical advice

PLease let us know what happens

RTK... you're not talking rubbish and I am not the only voice on Mumsnet LOL

i know but the hospital is about 45 mins away and i dont want to waste there time and my dp works at 4.30 i just dont know what to do

sorry pupuce

I got muddled up

Ring them if it will put your mind at ease... it won't either accelerate or slow down a labour.
