period pain and back ache 31 weeks?

[beckie90]

well im nearly 31 weeks and just wanted some advice, last 2 days ive had period pains and lower backache, i have it for a few hour and then it will dissapear and then come back again my belly has kind of remained hard most of the day today too. this is my 2nd child and i cannot recall having period pains at this point with my 1st. so i was just wondering what it could be?? any advice appreciated

Sounds like braxton hicks. When I was pg my belly would go hard and I would get some aches and pains but nothing serious. presumably the baby is moving as it would usually and everything? It's probably absolutely nothing to worry about.

If you are at all concerned though go to the doctors.

no defo not braxton hicks been having them since 16 weeks this time and 28 weeks 1st preg. feels different. but spoke to MW and she says its probably muscles lol

Good news! Good luck with it all!x

thankyou x

Hi, Ive had this for a few weeks now im am 32 weeks, sometimes it is like really bad period pain and sometimes like a dull ache. The midwife said it may be a urinary infection so she tested for that but all was fine so she said it is likely to be the baby banging his head on my pelvis. She said that when the head engages it is asuch a tight and akward fit and the baby has to get it just right to fit in and so they spend a good long time trying to get in there but end up just bouncing round and causing you discomfort!
Like I said ive been getting it for a while but not been causing any problems.
Hoep that helps :)
