Sorry to barge in but what do the back pains feel like? I've been having wierd twinges in my back the last few days, nothing I've felt before but a bit like toothache or a nerve? X
mine were all in my back and felt like someone sawing my spine in half! or twisting it..lovely eh
I never felt one contraction in my belly. or if i had them, they probably were too mild in comparison to the back pain.
Imsure you will definately know when its the real thing
mine were all in my tummy... felt like really bad period pains.. 1st i tried a tens machine with my son which i soon ripped off (was rubbish) then i had pethodine* which dulled the pains, but with my daughter i had to be induced 3weeks early and monitored throughout my labour due to OC and only had gas and air.. i just focused on, it didnt matter how bad the pain got it was going to fade just as fast as it came i think the worst part of labour is the ring of fire... where they wait for a while when the baby's head is out to strect for the shoulders just breath! x
Good thread! Did anyone start feeling the back pains weeks before the baby was due, or did they only come on at the end?
