Horrendous back pain. I never felt a contraction the way it was described. .. just unimaginable lower back and hip pain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-labor-1#post-1255061 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 21:57:12 +0000 rachiecakes 1255061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I also felt a total loss of control, of everything, during the contractions. I couldn't see, everything would black out, I'd stutter trying to talk. It started immediately after my water broke when I turned over in bed. I was very glad I wasn't driving or out in public! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-labor-1#post-1255006 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 21:27:49 +0000 photojane 1255006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just my lower back! And mostly on my right side. And I still have problems there because of it. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-labor-1#post-1254976 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 21:13:19 +0000 MsLipGloss 1254976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: that is exactly what it felt like for me too. I even have residual numbness in the top of my left thigh from one of the monster (quad-stacked pit contraction) contractions. I did not know it was possible to experience pain like that and not pass out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-labor-1#post-1254973 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 21:11:03 +0000 mediagirl 1254973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh back labor. It was awful. I never felt a contraction in the front like most women! It was a low pain like I had really bad menstrual cramps. Over and over and over again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-labor-1#post-1254969 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 21:08:51 +0000 MoonMoon 1254969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mostly just my lower back. I think I'm blocking the memory...back labor sucks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-labor-1#post-1254878 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 20:20:09 +0000 creativemomma15 1254878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I assumed it wasn't back labor, but the pain was that shooting, sledge hammer pain you guys describe, just not in my lower back. My DH questioned if it could be back labor. I have been having more contractions the past couple days and thought it didn't hurt to ask! My labor with DS started with my water breaking so I am new to the whole contractions/timing thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-labor-1#post-1252916 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 07:46:51 +0000 Adira 1252916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lower back!

I've been getting them again this pregnancy. Back labor is lower and is pretty awful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-labor-1#post-1252885 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 04:55:15 +0000 illumina 1252885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was just in the lower back--mostly around the sides of it, not so much the middle. I've never felt any pain around the front. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-labor-1#post-1252883 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 03:58:24 +0000 rachiecakes 1252883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only labor I experienced was back labor and it was like being electrocuted/seizure/sledgehammer in my lower back but would shoot through hips and occasionally up my spine. I never felt contractions in my abdomen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-labor-1#post-1252796 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 23:47:15 +0000 googly-eyes 1252796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was in the lower back. It wasn't a shooting pain. Like @littlefox I thought it was terrible but I NEVER had terrible pain in the front, it was all back labor... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-labor-1#post-1252794 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 23:45:44 +0000 LittleFox 1252794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lower back, hips, and even around my butt. It was the worst, but I never experienced "regular" labor so I can't compare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-labor-1#post-1252732 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 22:25:21 +0000 matador84 1252732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All lower. It was like being hit with a sledgehammer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-labor-1#post-1252719 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 22:13:17 +0000 Boheme 1252719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lower back and hips </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-labor-1#post-1252718 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 22:12:44 +0000 lovehoneybee 1252718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was in my lower back, sometimes radiating around to my hips. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-labor-1#post-1252716 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 22:11:30 +0000 MrsStar 1252716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was in my lower back and would radiate out towards my hips. DH spent the whole of my 11 hour labor putting counter-pressure on my back with his hands. Back labor is horrible! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-labor-1#post-1252706 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 22:05:16 +0000 AprilFool 1252706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lower back to start with, by the end it was my entire back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-labor-1#post-1252701 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 22:00:32 +0000 RubyCali 1252701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was all in my lower back, though sometimes it would radiate out to the front too for extra fun :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-labor-1#post-1252685 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 21:48:56 +0000 Ash 1252685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Back labor is THE WORST PAIN EVER! It was all in my lower back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-labor-1#post-1252676 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 21:45:29 +0000 Silva 1252676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was just in my low back. But everything hurt at that point in pregnancy. Try a heating pad, some Tylenol, a hot shower, etc. If it's labor, nothing will make it stop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-labor-1#post-1252669 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 21:42:50 +0000 creativemomma15 1252669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you had back labor, was it only in your lower back? Or did you feel it further up too? I just started having these weird shooting pains in my back, but it is my mid back like right in between my shoulder blades and came out of nowhere. It went away a little, but then came back maybe 5-10 minutes later. I always thought back labor was just in your lower back… Is this just a weird pregnancy back pain problem? </p>
