I was just wondering if anyone is
experiencing this major back ache ive
gained about 25 lbs on my body since pre
pregnancy but just the last two nights ive
been having major back ache like it just
wont go away .. My sister said it could
be labour working its way in cuz my
placenta is on the backwall and I am
supposed to have more back labour then
anything (which sucks) I was juts
wondering if anyone was experiencing this
too or if it is just me.. I go to the
doctors tommorow so ill be asking what it
is then .

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.

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
