Back cramps/achey?

[violet13]

Hey ladies,
Baby is v active but I'm experiencing some twinges/cramps in the small of my back it's very odd. I suppose I could of slept funny but I didn't have it when I woke up its just randomly appeared. I'll be keep an eye on it for an hour or so then ring the midwife centre it's just strange and I want to make sure it's normal, it's more towards my right side and doesn't worsen when baby kicks or moves and if I sit in any position it's still there so I doubt it's muscle related, advice please xxx

Hello! I started getting cramps and twinges in my lower back in Friday, and they have continued. I spoke to my midwife on mindsyvsnd she said it could be the cervix thinning out which is great, but she wouldn't examine me as I wasn't 37 weeks. Since then I've lost my plug so in hoping it's our bodies heading in the right direction! X

For me back ache/cramps etc is pretty normal for last weeks of pregnancy, just your body preparing x

Thanks for replying Hun, I'm hoping it's just my body sorting itself out just uncomfortable and little aches and pains worry me but baby is still v active which normally he's quiet by now haha but I like it it's nice feeling him. Just gonna keep an eye on it and then ring my midwife of it doesn't ease off xxx

I found the pains get worse at night so I now have a nightly bath, back rub and paracetamol to help me sleep x

Thanks ladies, it's just not nice can't sit properly and get comfortable it's more towards my right side so think my boy is being a cheeky monster and lying on a nerve or he's just moving down more, gonna try and sleep it off I think xxx

Midwife has just been to check me, I have a drs appointment now as she thinks it's a kidney infection yayyy urghh this is bloody horrible. Xxx

 

[ml600]

Oh dear!! Are you feeling unwell, or just the pain? At least if it is that they have caught it early! Good luck x

I was sick this morning but occasionally I can be, been feeling too hot but assumed that was because of baby. It's agony my right side is so so painful I can't even lie down on it I hope it gets sorted soon have been having a bit of a bad tummy this last week so I'm glad inhave an appointment, gonna pack a over night bag just incase I have to go to hospital xxx

Yeah that's probably for the best. I had a urine infection a few weeks back and had to stay overnight but didn't have anything with me, was horrible!! Keep us posted �� x

Just these past two days I've been having it too but it's lower back and like in the middle it goes really tense, I'm the same no position seems to be helping either !
Hope it eases off soon for you xx

Was about to write that I have had lower back ache and period pains at bottom of bump for a couple of weeks now and that it is supposedly normal. However if you have a kidney infection that's very different, hope you get sorted soon xx
