Pulsing back pain?

[jojowilliams]

Hi all so I'm 36 weeks pregnant and keep having period like cramps (every day nearly) and a pulsing/throbbing sort of pain in the bottom of my back once in a while? Anybody any idea what it is? I have sciatica as well don't know if it's related thanks girlies

Erm labour?!

I'm not sure tbh as it's been going on for days? Surely wouldn't be lasting that long? Xx

Yes yes - I had early labour for about 2 weeks then she came out in a hurry in an hour

Might also be strong braxton hicks

Maybe see your midwife if you can today

Hey sorry haven't checked the comments on here. I'm at the midwifes in the morning but tbh she's pretty useless she just says go to your doctors with any questions :/ so no idea didn't realise you could have labour for that long lol!! Scary!! Hmm I'm guessing it would be more in my back though when it's the real thing? Xx
