Holy Back Pain.

Last yesterday I woke up with some mild back pain. I went to lunch with a gf to.olive garden and had their spicy zupa tuscana soup and then when shopping at target for last minute baby stuff. Didn't loft anything heavy but walked around a LOT. When I got home around 530 the hubby wanted arbys and brought me home some.mozzerela sticks and chicken sandwich. Shortly after my back hurt to the point I where I wanted to cry. It lasted like this the entire night. Its still sore now but not sore enough to call out especially since its my last week of work. Does this sound like braxton hicks? It was constant and never relenting in both the lower back and lower abdominal area. Felt like I needed to take a big poo but only could go a little each time (tmi just want to be thorough though).

It turns out that the pain is contractions. However I am not dilated past 1cm so they sent me home. Hoping that changes by tomorrow because not sure how much longer I can take of this pain

Good luck sweety! How far along are you? I'm experiencing some mild contractions as well nothing too sever though. I had a false alarm on Sunday and after being wheeled down the ER to L&D (traumatizing experience) I realized I want to try and Labor as much as I can at home before going to the hospital. You're in my thoughts <3
