Lower back pain and tightenings

[TwoTearsInABucket]

Hi
I'm 30 weeks and today I had tightening round the bottom of my bump and lower backache that comes and goes. It makes my back hot.

I am hoping this isn't the start of anything and just bracxton hicks brought on by walking into town and back.

Has anyone else experienced this? And would you ring the midwife about it?

i get this (im prone to irritable uterus, which nearly sent me into labour at 21 weeks with dc2). usually triggered by an infection, but walking or exercising or alot of stress can trigger contractions too.
i definately think you should at least make your midwife aware of it if its painful. im normally fine after a good sleep x

Irritable uterus doesn't sound fun! Thanks for reassurance.

I think I will ring the mw and get my hospital bag ready just in case...
