I'm 33 +4 and for the last few days have been getting braxton hicks, period like cramps and lower back pain. Surely not pre labour already?? Isn't it too early?
That's what I thought so too but when my doc checked me last fri surprise surprise am in early labor..that's why am on bed rest now...he said am dilating about 1 to 2 cm and am only 34 weeks so it is early labor...I called the office when I was having those contractions and they said that the Braxton hicks are just normal coz it's my uterus preparing for my childbirth ....sure ! But it still is more reliable to get checked ....
If its one sided pain on our back, it might also be UTI... I thought I was in preterm labor when I was 32-33 weeks.. Never had a uti so I thought I was in labor.. Lol had contractions that got closer but I wasnt dilating.. Turned out I had UTI and mild dehydration which can also cause contractions.. Best to be checked though so you'll know for sure.. Hope everything turns out well..
