    pretty constant lower back pain/period like cramp feelings?

    Ok you've all probably all heard and answered this a million times lol past few days have had very constant lower back pain, can feel bub's head pretty low down in the pelvis and her movements feel like they press down pretty strong on my cervix. I read that if you hop into a warm bath and the back pain doesn't subside, which it has't, it could be an early sign that labour is on the way? Anyone else have this as the first signs? I've had some braxton hicks but nothing regular yet, definitely feel discomfort down low though and last night had twangs of pain in my buttocks. Feels a lot like period pains. I'm not due for another two weeks so wondering if we might be having an earlier arrival, or if this is normal a few weeks before they're born...

    Hi hun,

    Sounds as though labour might not be to far away for you

    Goodluck and Happy Easter

    Hi melbell
    I had really bad lower back pain about a week or 2 before my bub came along. When labour did start it felt like bad period pain and sort of went all around my hips and down my thighs. My ds was born at 38+2 so definitely could be the start of somethin, but wouldn't want to get your hopes up either! Good luck
