Learn more about our guidelines.I had back labour with my Jan baby, you feel most the contractions pain the back, for me it feels like period back pain but intense. Having my partner massaging and pushing my hips together during contractions helped.
Felt like my spine was being ripped out my lower back
My recent labour started in my back and for most of the day, I just thought it was back ache. It was uncomfortable but bearable hence not realising I was in labour - I needed to just get on with it as I was at a funeral! In the afternoon, it moved round to the front which felt like mild cramps/stomach ache which I put down to being a bit of a pig with the wake food π. Within 3 hours of that, they became strong contractions and I eventually went to the hospital where I was 8-9cm and baby born within the hour. It was very different labour to my first one which was really long and painful from the outset
@jayden this is accurate π
To begin with it just felt like lower back ache/cramping, and then when it got more intense it felt like really strong period cramps and pressure in my lower back
Legit the worst pain Iβve felt π€£
The worst pain I've ever experienced π
But for me on top of that was how long it took. I couldn't sit or lie down comfortably for a couple of days as I was in slow back labour. I remember when they made me lie down to do some tests and see if I was contracting I vomited from the pain. They finally took me seriously π
I had regular labour with my youngest and it was a breeze in comparison.
It felt like my back was breaking with each contraction π and I could barely stand, laying on my back was tolerable but on my side? Lol nope that was awful. Made for a fun 10 hours until I was able to get my epidural (and I immediately got it the first moment I could)
The most horrendous pain ever!!!!! But somehow Iβd still do it all over again for my girl π₯Ή
