generally, it's no big deal.
the answer is probably labor contractions. is it a continuous pain or do they come and go? in any case, I would call your doctor or labor and delivery at the hospital she will deliver at and get her checked out. good luck!
Well 37 weeks could be braxton hicks. or I had gall bladder pain that was exactly like that if its on the right side under her breast bone and then radiates to her back i would have the gall bladder checked if not like i said it could be braxton hicks. tell her to call her dr and get checked
back pains could be braxton hicks contractions, and just the extra weight she is carrying around as for the stomach pain is it an upset stomach? or does it feel like contractions shes already had a child so she should know a little more about this lol...and midwives are usually always on call, so call the DR
Well maybe because she pregnant? Shes carrying around a baby. Its living inside of her. Its kicking and turning. Of course she hurts. Natural. try putting a backpack around your self filled with some stuff and put in on your shoulders and on you stomach. walk around for a while. hurts right?
I'm no Dr. but baby's take about 9 months (36 weeks). So maybe it's coming soon.
when a baby is growing in the uterus, all the other organs & tissues need to move around a little to make room for the baby;; the baby could also be positioned so that it is bearing more on the top near the stomach, or pushing... that's for the stomach.....now the back, most likely because of all the weight distribution @ the belly & pulling the spine forward (esp the low back);; & again, the baby could be positined as to be pushing on that area... Good Luck with the new one!!!!
where the baby is positioned in your mother's belly. whether the baby is facing head up and butt down or the other way around.
its pressure that the baby is putting on her body because there is no a lot of room left to move around
Hi Milla :) Its the baby ;) Its big...its heavy, it kicks and turns... everything you describe is normal
