Basically..I've had many false alarms! Lol. I'm 36+4 weeks and couple of hours ago I started having few pains in lower back, started on my left but now all over the bottom radiating a bit into my left hip...feels a bit like maybe I've strained it or something like that. Started very suddenly and haven't done anything strenuous..feel a bit tender in my front lower but nothing major. I've also noticed that when I walk it feels worse with pressure aswel and that I have felt like I have needed and tried to have a wee about 10x in one hour! This is DS2

in my case anyway.

is it constant or coming and going?

For me it was like the intense lower back pain I would get during AF. I had never heard of back contractions until I got them so didn't know I was in labour until the community midwife said I was 4cm dilated! I was waiting for pains in my stomach!

Shoving a hot water bottle down my trousers helped immensely.

Mine wasn't constant and came and went like 'front' contractions
