It is possible that you have a kidney infection or some sort of infection. Or it could just be back labor which in some womens case that is how they labor. I would put a call into your doctor and let them know what is going on. And see what they tell you to do. Good luck hun I hope that you feel better

It could be a bad backache... It could be you have an irritated uterus... It could be your uterus stretching... It could be sciatic pain... It could be braxton hicks contractions... It could be a uti... It could be you are constipated... It could be nothing or it could be something...

33 weeks is a bit early for labor. Are the pains coming consistently?

Labor contractions have the following characteristics
they are regular
they follow a predictable pattern (such as every eight minutes)
they become progressively closer
they last progressively longer
they become progressively stronger
each contraction is felt starting in the lower back and then radiating around to the front or visa versa
a change in activity or position will not slow down or stop contractions

good luck at the doctor!

Hey! Doc said he thinks it mite be a urinry track infection. So I did the tests and he'll know on monday. And then I can take pills for it. Aslong as it doesnt burn when I pee or get a fever he said no need to worry. So im guessing once (if it is) confirmed thats wat it is my back pain will go away?? Cuz he just told me to take tylenol for that. But I mean, thats not doing anything....

Yeah, tylenol isn't very good at taking the pain away. If it is a uti, it could cause back pain too.

Good luck this weekend! Remember to drink a lot of water. Water. Water. Annoying to pee so much, but you need to so you can get the infection out of your system.

If it is a uti a natural way to cure/good start to getting rid of it is unsweetened cranberry juice, eating any sugar with uti will actually make it a uti worse, something to do with aiding bacterias growth.

Another good thing if you choose to take antibiotics make sure you eat yogurt as antibiotics kill all bacteria even the good ones that you need...
