Back Ache Anyone

The last trimester is the worst time for backache! Your increasing size is usually to blame.

I never heard of back labor from your placenta being on the back wall. The baby's position is what causes back labor. If baby is facing up towards your belly ...Then the back of his/her head will press on the hard bones in your back...Causing back labor. However if baby is facing your back....Then the hard part of the head won't be pressing on that.


What causes back labor?

The cervix dilating and effacing and possibly the pressure of the fetus on the tailbone causes back labor. When the uterus contracts in the early stages of labor, the pain may be a radiating pain. This pain may radiate from the front to the back (more common) or from the back to the front. If you had the type of radiating pain from the front to the back, you are more likely to have back labor during the active or transitional phase of labor.

Hey thanks for the reply

i completely forgot to mention that he is breeched too lol not just because the placenta is on the back wall.. Sorry *

All the best to you and your!

All I know about back labour is when the baby is facing the wrong direction (its back against your back) and you have contractions it could make your back hurt more so than usual in labour as my mum had that with my sister. She had to be put on a drip to hurry things along and also had to have forceps. I hope this helps good luck at the doctors tomorrow x
