back labor

garagebandfan

I've never had back labor. I've been having some uncomfortable contractions for about an hour, but the back labor is the worse.

I have two options I can get hooked up to the machine (which I don't want to do) or I can try and time them myself.

My question how do you time them? The back pain doesn't seem to ease up.

Umm I had back labor as well and yes it was excruciating!! I only started getting mine towards end of active labor, so timing was not a thought. Sorry.

With my first it was a back to back birth and there was no let up. No way could I time. Sorry x

@cheryl74 that's how these feel... I've been laying on a heating pad trying to relieve the back pain but no luck!

@mommyof3tobe thank you!

Did either of you notice your boobs getting hard during a contraction?

Tbh I can't remember, it was 15 yrs ago lol. I do remember not being able to sit or stand or lay down. I just couldn't get comfy. Good luck hunny x

@cheryl74 that's exactly how this feels!! A bath didn't help, a shower didn't help. At first they were just uncomfortable where I couldnt sleep or get comfortable... now they are making me stop moving and clinch my teeth!

@tricesbaby thanks for the bumb

I'm in early labor now actually, and losing chunks of my mucus plug I'm getting pains in my abdomen and in my back fml I'm planning on taking a warm shower in about half an hour see if it helps.
