Middle back pain - is this from my contractions?

Hey mommas,

I'm 35+3 and on medication to postpone active labor since I went into preterm labor at 32 weeks. So far so good! But I still have contractions all the time from an irritable uterus. Past few nights I was having lower back pain when the contractions hit and then at the hospital they found out my cervix has started dilating. But not quickly.
But tonight I'm having crazy pain around the middle of my back, in the area where I guess kidneys would be, that stretch between my tailbone and my shoulder blades. It's there constantly but gets worse during contractions.
Is this a pregnancy/labor thing or is this my kidneys or something??

Maybe give the ward a ring and see what they say.

Is baby moving as normal?

I had pain where you describe in the final hours of labour with my prem baby 2 weeks ago. Good luck Smile

Back labour is a bitch!
Get calling the hospital 🙂

@MilkAndBiscuits baby is moving like a hurricane! But yeah you're right I should probably call and mention it. It's frustrating cuz I literally just left the ward after monitoring. Like, couldn't the pain have developed half an hour earlier so I could have mentioned it once and for all? 😅
