More towards the back

The past few nights I've started having 3-5 regular 'episodes' of braxton hicks each afternoon & evening. Last night I actually got some minor but painful back contractions. Although they were irregular, they were the real thing & lasted for about 10-15 minutes. These were not Braxtons & unexpected as of yet. Following that was another Braxton Hicks 'episode'. Finally they calmed down & I was able to sleep for a few hours.


Later my son woke up with a bad dream & joined us in bed. From there on, I couldn't get comfortable & 'slept' in 15 minute intervals. So at 4 am, I finally got up & gave up sleeping. (sigh) Not sure what too do now...
