36 weeks pregnant and back hurts?

Question

im 36 weeks pregnant and my lower left back and left rib hurts so much! did anyone experiance this before

Answer 1

Lower back pains are common, especially towards the end of the pregnancy.  My first time delivering, I had extreme back labor and it felt much like I was passing kidney stones.  Awwful!  You can drink lot's of water to keep yourself hydrated and keep the cramping and pains down.  Also try lying on the opposite side with a pillow between your knees.  This will relieve you a bit from the pressure.

Answer 2

all of my pain is on my right side I feel for you honey I really do it sucks hang in there

Answer 3

yes, it is because of how the baby is laying, putting more pressure on it.  

Answer 4

i had that exact pain in those exact spots when i was pregnant with my last two kids!! it didnt start until around 35 weeks but im like 24 weeks pregnant and have already been dealing with it again...:( its nothing serious though i just always lied down on my right side and put my left arm up over my head...hope it helps!

Answer 5

I've heard it's very common, especially since you're so close to giving birth. It's just the baby moving around and growing a little extra more.
