Just wondering?

supermom replied: Oh, oh!! Are you trying to tell us something? Can't say I'm much help, I was lucky enough to never have back labor, but someone posted their labor story about not being sure but all they had was a backache!!

Kirstenmumof3 replied: This happened to me with my first baby and I almost didn't think I was in labour! GOOD LUCK AND I HOPE ALL GOES WELL!

MomToMany replied: YES!! My sister was like that! All she had was back pain, so she went in, and sure enough, she was 5 cm dilated already!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ELV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!

MommyToAshley replied: I was induced so I am no help.

But, I just wanted to send you some:

~~~~~~ELV~~~~~~~

amynicole21 replied: I think so!! Woo Hoo, could this be it??!?! I've heard that getting on all fours helps with back labor...

Good luck and ~.~.~.~.~ ELV ~. ~.~.~.~. to you!!

Cal&Camsmom replied: When I went into early labor with Camrynne I had back labor only. I was about 7 months pg or so & then I had to lay on my left side & drink a bunch of water so they subsided. It could be the start for you!! Good luck!!

CantWait replied: well for a while last night I thought that was it, but nope....it subsided finally Thanx for the ~~~~~ELV~~~~~~~though...hopefully will be able to post something exciting real soon.

Schnoogly replied: Oh yeah, I had a terrible backache for a few days before I went into labor and it was TERRIBLE back labor the whole time. Spend some time on your hands and knees on the floor, rocking your pelvis around. This will help the baby get in a better position (back labor is usually caused by a "sunny side up" baby) Being on hands and knees encourages the baby to turn around. Believe me, you really want to avoid back labor if you can!!

ELV to you!!

Kaitlin'smom replied: I had back labor, no fun. thank goodness for the epidural! It was not fun but then I ended up with an emergency c-section. She was sunny side up. But ike they said try being on all fours and rocking that shoudl help and might make baby turn around! Just tell hubby he must have put the baby in wrong! LOL

+Zemirah+ replied: My SIL only had one baby... she had a dull backache with him and just thought she needed to get up and move around a bit to relieve the discomfort. So she headed downstairs for something warm to drink... and birthed him on the stairway moments later. Praying for you here. How exciting!! Keep us updated!

+Zemirah+ replied: Oops... meant to add... hang in there as it could be a while yet, but it sounds like you are at least "warming up" for the big day kwim? Hugs,

CantWait replied: well the my doctors appt a couple weeks back and the u/s both confirmed that baby is in the perfect position so I know it's not that.

Hmmmmm
I have my LAST appt tomorrow (we should be able to set up a day for induction then since I'm 1 day away from my dd) We'll see what the doc has to say.
