Or trapped wind? I kid ye not. I was bent over in agony at one stage with a bout of it.

Wait and see a bit to see how things go.

I had severe cramps up till delivery, I was told the round ligaments continue to stretch out and that was causing the pain, almost like a stabbing pain across lower abdomen.

OMG I am 33 weeks and I have the same thing - yesterday I thought I was going to pass out in M&S!

I was thinking / hoping it was BH...

I read that if you get contractions plus back pain you should contact your midwife or doctor immediately. Hope it is all okay.

Hi Trace2 - yes other than that all is well. But have to say that poor DH is taking the brunt of it all - I am super grumpy and can't seem to stand up, sit down, turn over without grunting like a wild boare! Can't imagine having to go through another 7 weeks and secretly hoping that baby is early... though not too early...and now feeling guilty that I am a bad mother for wanting baby to come early!
