    Couple of questions

    I had abit of a scare yesterday. I was at work and started getting these pains (stronger then brax hicks) and was happening often. I then got the worst back ace on the lower part of my back, In the middle and on the right lower side. I freaked out and rang the ob but it was his day off, and they couldnt get ahold of him. I went straight to bed and stayed there all after noon/night. The receptionist from my ob rang me back about 1/2 hr after talking to her and said that if it got worse to go to the hospital. I didnt get worse and eased up. I really thought I was going to lose my son. Ive never been so scared.

    So in telling you all that, Now of cause im going to ask you ladies and if anyone has had this. During this pg or any others. I was have another question to ask, Does anyone else have a heavy discharge. Mine is very heavy and some times alittle watery. Im abit of a worry wort at the best of times and I guess I just need some one to tell me yes they have the same thing.

    I never had waterie discharge though but know through read other posts that you can get light leak of waters but that they replench themselves... But for peace of mind tell you doctor as soon as you see him next just to be sure I too am a worrier...

    I just started to get back pains as well, in the lower right side, they come and go so I just figure baby is kicking me. My ob didn't seem too concerned when I saw her the other day.

    Hi Missy
    This pregnancy thing can be so scary eh.
    Don't worry about asking too many questions. this forum is here for people to ask questions. Your pains are normal and are either Braxton Hicks or caused by your baby and body growing. Many people will tell you that Braxton Hicks are not painful however the people who say this are either men or women who have never had them. Braxton Hicks can be very painful. The pain can be enough to make you stop what you are doing.
    Hope this helps.
