Looking for some advice - I'm 38 weeks pregnant with my first. 2 days ago I started getting period pains in my back which were constant for 10 minutes or so (they didn't come & go) - very uncomfortable, but not agonising. Then yesterday whilst in the cinema I started to get pain again - this time I can only describe them as breath taking - in my lower back, on my left side. I felt a bit panicked, couldn't easily move, got in a taxi, called my husband to come home. These lasted around 10 minutes as well (again, constant for 10 mins), but didn't come back. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm now nervous to go too far from home in case it happens again.
