I posted last night wanting to know if back pain is a sign of labor. I went to sleep last night with severe back pain. Other than getting up to pee I slept through the night ok. I woke up at like 6:45 this morning with what felt like period cramps. They weren't bad at all, just uncomfortable. At about 8 I was still having them about 20 minutes apart. By 8:30 the pain was a little more sharp, not too bad though. We went to see my midwife this morning for her to check me.

She said his heartbeat was a little slower than it has been, she checked me and said I was dilated between 1 and 2 cm. She sent me home, telling me to relax and wait on either my water to break or for the contractions to get really bad and then to call and she will meet me at the hospital.

So it has been a few hours now and the pain has remained coming and my back still aches but they front pain hasn't gotten much worse than this morning so now I am just waiting around. So hopefully he will be here by the end of the weekend! I am only 37 weeks and 3 days along so I am hoping that he is ready.
