Back to back - labour

I had this with my first born, but I thought it was just back pain until I went to the hospital with it and they gave me codeine and it didn’t work turns out I was 7cm dilated ! Personally back labour was horrible for me and I still suffer with my back to this day. Worried about it happening again with my second, but all pain is worth it in the end when you get to meet your baby.

@chloe worried that’s what this is. Getting a rare tightening in my stomach but not painful at all. Could easily just be braxton hicks. The back pain however comes and goes but I’ve never had it in only my back before… so doubting whether it’s anything or I’ve just overdone it today.

Maybe time them. There is an app called contraction timer. See if they get stronger how I knew somthing wasn’t right ( as in I thought I was in labour) was bc the pain got that bad I couldn’t sleep I was on all fours and very restless. And that’s when I went to the hospital where I was told I was 7cm. Keep an eye on it, my messages are open if you need a chat, xx

Thanks lovely, I did end up timing them because I couldn’t sleep (while hub snored next to me 🙄) and they were quite consistently about 7 mins apart and lasting about 50 seconds. Then they just stopped 🤦🏻‍♀️ Feel like this baby just wants me on my toes as that’s the second time I’ve thought something was happening and then it stopped 😭
