Back pain and tightening whenever I stand

[magicstarlove]

Whenever I stand I have lower back pain on my spine and tightening that come and go but when I sit down or lie down I can ignore it and feel fine

Does anyone know if this is the start of labour and how long this will go on for. It started midday yesterday. I'm 37 weeks and 3 days. Waters haven't gone yet.

Thanks in advance

I'm exactly the same - 37 weeks 3 days - and I'm feeling a lot of lower back twinges when I get up or sit down. Not sure if it's a sign of impending labour, or just extra pressure down there because the baby is getting bigger.
