Contractions?

Im 40 weeks and 3 days and last night i couldnt really get any sleep.. i had really bad lower back pain. And this morning some cramps in my lower abdomen. Ive been having pains in my lower back that come and go.. can they be contractions ? Its just on my lower back tho, they dont really move towards my belly. Im super uncomfortable and dont wanna get to excited but i wanna meet my little boy already !

You could be in labour. On Monday I couldn't sleep all night and the same day I went into labor. I was getting contractions and it's good that I had a appointment. They sent me to hospital cuz I mentioned baby not moving as much. Turned out his heart rate was dropping. They broke my waters. Better to be safe than sorry !

I only ever had back labor and my tummy never hurt at all! So time those back pains and call your hospital(: you definitely could be in labor!!!(:

If they are painful and at least 5 minutes apart non stop then you're in labour! !
