If you are worried ring the midwife and ask, or NHS direct and talk to a nurse. The number is 08454647. They will ring you back and send you to hospital if they think she needs to be seen. Good luck

backache could be practise contractions - get her on all 4s as much as poss, to make sure baby is in best position - eg lyi9nig over a bean bag or exercise ball

mumsey6 nobody is trying to give you advice because abbeymeg gave you the best advice already - she needs to be checked over by a health professional and nobody on here can tell you whats going on by a post

the community midwife may come out and see her at home and if not call NHS24 who will advice

best of luck and congrats on becoming a gran

Call NHS Direct on no. above if getting no response from your midwives. The should be able to help or get a better number for you.

Good luck to your daughter.
