constant lower aching ..is everything ok?

Shell, back pain can be a sign of labour. Can you contact the hospital and explain to them what is happening. I would espect they would ask you to come in and get checked out. It is better to be safe than sorry iykwim. Goodluck and I hope all turns out ok, and it is just some stretching. If you dont want to talk to the midwifes go to your gp. hugs

I was going to suggest the same. Constant back pain, with the other pain you have, could be pre labour. I'd get checked JIC

Shell, I'd check it out hun just for a piece of mind if anything. I'm 23 weeks along, and last weekend I had 'cramping AF pains' and they lasted for 4 days. I freaked out and emailed my OB and he siad that if the pain gets worse or keeps on going for a few more days to call him. He said that b/c bub was moving around heaps that was a good sign. Fortunately the pain stopped on Wednesday last week, but I was really freaking out. I have had a really sore back for a few weeks now, but my belly is all out the front and I have a bad curveture in my spine so I expect some pain, but somedays I feel like I can't walk for too long as it's sooooo painful (I ended up getting myself one of those back/tummy braces which has been great).

Check it out hun, it's probably nothing but better make sure for your piece of mind.
