What Causes Back Pain And Stomach Discomfort During 38 Weeks Of Pregnancy?
Hi I m 38 weeks as of Sunday, today I ve been going to the washroom a lot, having bad pains not sure if I lost my mucus plug or if it s discharge , it was yellowish greenish and slimy/milky . And I ve been feeling sick to my stomach for these last few days, bad back pain legs keep tightening up.
pain and discharge may be due to labour pain but any pain at this stage is not necessarily labour, so don't worry. It could be various other factors (placenta changing position, baby turning, etc) and because of the huge size of the uterus, one tends to be more susceptible to pain. But even a drop of blood, don't ignore.but if pain is severe and like labour pain then you should visit to doctor and don't make yourself worse.doctor will examine you and tell about exact problem.
