Back labor

If you’re having back labor do you also feel pelvic contractions or can it just be a constant back pain?
Im 40+1 and just lost some mucus plug (no blood yet) and all day have been having intense lower back pain near my hips different from the normal back pain and am wondering if this is a sign?

Mines not necessarily coming and going it’s been constant maybe with moments of more pain but it’s hard to tell but it hurts a lot

Did the back labor pain come and go like contractions or just stay constant?

Almost all my pain was in my lower back too. 🤷

I hardly felt contractions at the front I felt them in lower back/bum , they were sooooo painful xx

I had back labor. I didn’t feel anything in the front. It was definitely consistent contractions in my back though! Not a constant pain

Could be pressure from baby moving down into your pelvis and being sunny side up. Try doing some spinning babies exercises if you can and that should turn baby and alleviate the pain

I had back labour that ended in an emergency c section but when I was having contractions it was mainly in my lower back, it was really painful in my back. I struggled to stay still lying down (I had to stay in the bed lying down due to hormone drip) I did feel a little in the front towards my sides but mainly back c

Do active babies in the womb become active newborns?

I had my 40 week ultrasound yesterday (on my due date) and the doctor mentioned how active my baby is. Curious as to your experiences regarding if your baby was active in the womb, are they likely to be active when they’re newborn? 😊

Early Labour?

I’m 34 weeks today, since 3am I’ve been having irregular cramping which becomes quite intense and has caused me to vomit. I’ve also had diarrhoea. Could I be in early labour or could I just have a bad stomach? I feel generally well in myself

28wk5days growth scan📈

I’ve just been to my first growth scan as my bump was measuring small, for the lady to say that baby should be between 2pound 2ounces - 2pound 5ounces and my baby is measuring 2pound 15ounces which is above average, any one else has similar measurements?x

Gender at 16 weeks

I’ve just had a scan at 16 weeks and asked the sonographer if she could tell the sex, and three little lines were visible! She said she’s 80% certain it’s a girl, but to clarify at the 20 week scan.
How likely do you think she is to be right? I saw the little “hamburger lines” myself too.

Can you tell with my scan photos using the nub theory??
