for 2 weeks now and after I mopped I started getting a dull back ache and didnt think nothing of it but now at 2:30 the back ache is horrilbe and now I am getting these pain once in a while Like I have to poop really bad and that is excruciating but I dont have to go to the bathroom. And when the pains do hit I cant walk or sit or anything it is horrible. Can this be signs of labor? I am 38 1/2 weeks and I am waiting for my midwife to call me back wanting some of you guys opinions? what did your pains feel like?

Yes, I'd bet you're in labor. Each time I was in labor it felt like I had to poo with every contraction. I also had terrible back pain with each contraction. Especially if you are feeling these contractions coming at regular intervals, then it's time!! Congratulations!

sounds like it could be labor -- i walked around for a couple days with pains like that, having no clue that it was really the early signs of labor (with my first child.) You could have done way too much today, so go put your feet up, like the others said, and wait to hear from your midwife. If you are worried, call again, or call the doctor/hospital for advice. Better safe than sorry! I wish you well! good luck!

Anytime you are having some kind of problem with your pregnancy, the smart thing and best thing to do...do not get online and do not wait for your midwife or doctor to call back, get up and go to the nearest hospital IMMEDIATELY. You are doing more harm than good then to sit here on the computer waiting for someone to determine what could be going on with you...in which it sounds like you are about to have a baby soon. Only a doctor can determine this for sure. Good luck and congrats!!!

I would seriously think that you might be in labor! My personal opinion would be to go and get checked out as soon as possible!
If you are in labor, you want to sit down and take it easy and wait for your midwife or have someone take you to the hospital!
I have 5 kids and have been there! Good luck and God bless!

You could be in the early stages of labor which is normal at this time. Your midwife will be able to tell you for sure. Believe me when you go into full labor you will know it.

i had the same pains when i was in labor..you need to count the time between them and if around 5 mins or so then go to the hospital and call your OB/GYN..

What you are doing honey is called nesting. You get the house all ready for baby to come home. Those dull aches are exactly what my wife felt two to three days before baby time. Keep doing what your doing. Baby will be here soon.

I think you are in labor, and please sit down and rest and wait for your midwife to tell you what to do. Good luck to you and congratulations. I hope the labor goes easy for you.
