    Upper back pain?

    Hey girls,

    I had period pain overnight so I was so excited this morning thinking that yay! my cunning plan was going to work (pre-labour today, proper labour tonight & eviction early tomorrow morning!)! I had a few tightenings on waking for maybe an hour, nothing much and they died off. However, I have really bad UPPER back pain, right around my back where it meets the top of my belly - think just under my bra strap.

    I have taken Panadiene Extra - nada, tried massage - bliss!, a hot bath - nada, and stretching - a little relief but its relentless.

    Is this anything pre-labour related or have I strained something? It feels muscular.

    Thanks in advance

    Oh, that sounds very like the pain I had throughout pregnancy. It came and went with DS' but was much worse with DD. It's bloody awful. Rubbing helps, until you stop rubbing.
    Baby will be out soon, then it hopefully will be ok.

    I have had alot of upper back pain in the pregnancy. I see a chiro who specializes in PG women and he works wonders.
    I hope your plan comes to fruition! I might join you if thats ok!?
