Hey mommies, I’m a ftm and I’m 34+6 and I’ve been having severe pain in the bottom of my belly and lower back. It comes and goes and it’s so painful. The back cramps I guess you could say are so bad sometimes it’s making my legs hurt. I’m pretty sure I lost some of my mucus plug last week. Any ideas? I’m going to call my ob in the morning I just wanted to see if anyone might have a idea what to do or what it is.

Probably Braxton hicks
Those pains happened too me and the next day I had my son.
I literally just went in for the same thing. Its round ligament pain and braxton hicks. Its awful but normal. Good luck mama

Sounds like BH to me. If you get to having the pains consistently then I’d go to l&d to be safe. 
Do your kick counts ( very important), keep track of how far apart they are. Could be early labor
I’d call labour and delivery and ask. Or 811 where I’m from is a health link line.
Worst fear would be early labour. I would definitely ask someone immediately
Sounds normal. You’re baby is moving waaaaay down to prepare for birth. I had horrible sciatic nerve pain with both of my pregnancies. Could be what you’re experiencing but unfortunately nothing can really be done about it… you’re doing great. Good luck!
Is it cramps, or just pain? You could be having Braxton Hicks. Losing your mucus plug is no biggie. But pain in pregnancy is normal. Back pain, tail bone pain, pelvic pain, all normal.
Braxton hicks or ligament
If you have no contractions probably pretty normal but have it checked for peace of mind.
Sounds like Braxton Hicks or round ligament pain. I had the ligament pain & it is very painful.
if you’ve lost some of your mucus plug is most likely labor pain and if it’s been going on for a few days you might want to get checked as long as your baby still moving at least 10 movements a day your baby should be okay but if you start to have some type of leakage you better get to the hospital
Call the doctor or hospital. Better to get it sorted out and if it is early labor they may be able to stop it Your baby will be better off not being born too early. if it is just normal baby shifting they will tell you and that you won’t be up all night worrying

Your pregnant 
could be early labor pains or Braxton hicks
Probably labor, drink water see if it stops. If not keep timing them if they’re constant go in.
Sounds like labor. Go to the hospital.

Best Wishes it could be Braxton Hicks but go to your Dr to make sure
It’s better to go in and have it turn out to be nothing than sit at home and have it turn out to be something and then wishing you had gone in sooner, at the very least I’d call and ask
I’d go to get checked! I had this pain in my back for about a week but thought it was normal and I ended up giving birth at 27+1
