You ever been around anyone who had a child in NICU? If you had you would really rethink trying to make your baby come early. NICU is the most terrible heartbreaking experience ever. Back pain is not the worse thing ever I've had a messed up back since I was 14 it puts me in tears sometimes and I'd rather deal with that then ever have a child in NICU again.

pregnancy is full of positives and negatives! I would try to hang in there at least until baby is ready. heating pads help with back pain.

Eat a raw pineapple & drink half a glass of wine ! Worked for me. My water broke about 5 hours after. I just won't ever eat pineapple again.

You haven't really begun to sacrifice for your baby.  The sacrifices you will make - as a good mother - will daunt this little two week period where your back hurts a little.  

Motherhood is full of joys and sacrifices - this is the least of it,  I promise.

I would wait at least two more I know exactly how you feel but leaving your baby at the hospital will make you feel worse mild walking castor oil another walk long this time I did stairs then bathed after I had sex and was in labour a few hours later

I would talk to your doc about it. Baby isn't even full term yet, and it would be bad if someone were to give you advice and then something bad happened because of it. Talk to your doc about if you're that uncomfortable.
