Sharp pain in stomach and dull pain in back

[Candystar18]

Hello ladies

I am 38 weeks, I understand the usual pregnancy aches and pains that are normal.... however, starting from yesterday I have had sharp pains in my lower stomach and a dull ache in my back. I struggled to get a good sleep last night but this morning I felt fine but then it started again at about 10.

Its not coming in waves and it is worse when im moving around and eases when I rest so I dont believe its labour related but its very uncomfortable and not a familiar feeling.

I thought I would post this to see if anyone else has had something similar and knew what it was or knew someway to help it? I have googled it but can find nothing.

Dont want to ring midwives as feel its creating a fuss for nothing serious.

Thank you in advance 🙂

When did you last have a urine test as it could be a uti. Otherwise it could be your body getting ready for labour or the baby in an awkward position and possibly pressing on some nerves.

sounds like your body preparing for labour.....

I’d ring the midwife. They really never think it’s a fuss.

Thank you for your replies, had anti natal this week and urine checked at it and was all ok.
It just seems like a strange feeling but then every pregnancy is different, maybe just the run up to labour as u ladies say.

Thank you, I will ring them.
