39 weeks, and in alot of pain???

Question

im in so much pain, i have had lower back ache since last night, it was just uncomfatable but now its getting to be quite painful, im having braxton hicks i know there braxton hicks because theres no pattern to them. these seem to be made more painful by the back ache. i have phoned the hospital and they said to come in when the contactions become regular or to painful. the thing is i dont think im in labour has anyone else had this experience and give me advise?? could it be a water infection??

Answer 1

I don't know a lot about that subject specifically, but I doubt you have a water infection. I am 39 weeks as well, and it seems like pain comes with the territory :(  GRRRR.

If you are really concerned though, call up your doctor and ask him about it.  I really just think it's one of those things that makes you feel miserable and worry about nothing.  Good luck.

Answer 2

could be early labour just keep an eye on it. i would definately rule out infection.

Answer 3

If it's just pain in the back, it's probably not an infection. Try doing some walking. If the pain gets worse with walking you might be in early labor. The baby might be engaging more so there is more pressure on your lower back.
