Tightenings goin into my back and bum. Is this just braxton hicks?

[ProudMum]

As the title says. I just had a few tightenings that moved into my back and down the side of my bum cheek. I havent laboured before as I was induced with my first and pretty much numb before any action kicked in, so I dunno what to expect. Am I ok to just go to bed and leave it til my appointment tomorro? I havent lost any fluid or my plug.

I had a few one after the other, never had anything like that before and it seems to have stopped for now I think, tho my lower back seems really heavy, if that makes sense? I hope little one can wait til the weekend at least I had period cramps last night too. I'm feeling rather uneasy about it now as I dont know what to expect at all.

So you have no idea what labours like either? Glad i'm not alone. With my son I was taken in, waters broke, had an epi, hooked up to a drip and 22 hours later I had a baby. felt no pain at all apart from braxton hicks. Other than that i'm pretty clueless about the whole process. My last birth ended with forceps too, so technically I didnt do much at all. I'm so not looking forward to natural birth and labour. X

Hun, I went in to false labour at 29 weeks and my contractions started at the top of my bump (like a knotting feeling) and the dispersed in to my back. My hips were achey but they were coming every 10 mins, regular as clockwork and lasted a minute. I think what you're getting are BHs as there isn't a pattern.

A warm bath, warm hottie or a little massage will help a great deal.
