Contractions

[Charlotte & Emily]

Can you get contractions just in your back?
ive been getting a pulsating pain in my back but a little bit in my stomach, i starts off mild then gets really bad and then dies down.
can anyone tell me what this is please?

I was speaking to my bestfriend who is a midwife only yesterday and we were discussing this very issue ......... and she said that yes, sometimes the contractions can start in the back...... remain there for a while and eventually work there way around the front

hope this helps

Mine were mostly in my back all the way through, the tens machine worked wonders for them.

I only had pains in my back, and so did my sister when she was in labour..and my mum did with us (it mut be a family thing!!!)

Ruby was back to back with me so thats why I had back ache they said...

my sister had a back labour it was horrible for her

 

[Charlotte & Emily]

ive had these pains now since about 4pm
they have moved round to my stomach aswell and are really painfull that i just want to scream
also my bump goes very hard when i get one
they are around 15 mins in between each one and last about 1 min
could this be labour?

Certainly sounds promising hun, I'm not sure as this my first so have no experience or wisdom to offer (sorry)...........but sounds like I would imagine contractions to be like.

May be worth calling the hospital and having a chat with them........if it is.....then lots of love & luck......hope it moves quickly for you

I think it could be too hun, maybe call the labour ward if they come closer together..
