My back has been killing me on and off for the past few days, but today it has been the worst yet since about 9pm. I mean it’s been constant. I usually do my walking, but today I’ve been so uncomfortable and tired. I had a bad night and I’ve just been plain uncomfortable today to the point where all I wanted to do was lay down or just sit with my feet up. Then the backache started and no matter what I do it hurts.

I went to my midwife today, whom stated that the baby dropped. It doesn’t seem like it. I am still walking around with a beachball of a tummy and the baby can still put her feet in my ribs no matter the position I am in. It’s worse at night though. I’ve had to lay on my right side for months which is becoming very uncomfortable because if I lay on my left side, in a matter of minutes I have feet in my ribcage causing a painful throbbing sensation which forces me back to my right side. With that said you can see why I haven’t gotten any rest. Now accompanied by the backache and it’s worst.

I don’t know what to call this pain, is it back labor? Or is it just terrible backache? Will I still be pregnant tomorrow? I really have no idea right now. All I can say is my back is killing me and I know laying down won’t help. I took a warm shower which made it feel a little better, but once the shower was done the pain came back even worse than before.
