Answer 1

I had a lot of back pain during my pregnancy and it was considered false labor.  I also had the same pain as what you are describing from your bum can't hardly move...I found it easier to crawl then to walk when I had to get around.  It ended up being my cyatic nerve and I went through physical therapy.  SInce you are so far along though, I would definatly talk with your OB, cause it might be that you are getting close.  All I can suggest if you don't end up having your baby real soon, and the pain wont go away is just do some stretches.  That is what ended up helping me, but it didnt go away for me until after I had my daughter.

Answer 2

Go to the hospital. I was in your situation and it was considered back labour. My back hurt so much I couldn't walk. By the time I went to the hospital I was already 6 almost 7 cm dilated!! I was 39 weeks along. Now I have a beautiful 7 week old girl :)

Answer 3

The baby is probably pressing on you cyatic nerve. It happened to me with my second child. I went to my OB and they referred me to physical therapy. I can't say that it really helped, but you should tell your OB. If nothing, it should get better once the baby arrives. Hope you feel better. Good luck.
