I am 32 weeks with twins, my first pregnancy. I have been woken up every hour for the past 3 hours with a numb-like pain in my lower back and pressure on my rectum. It's not horrible, but its enough to wake me up. I get up and move around and it subsides. Could I be in labor? or am I just being a hypochondriac?

It's probably just the position of the baby putting pressure on those spots. I had back labor..and it was anything but a numb feeling, lol. Every women is different and so is every pregnancy, if your worried it could be labor, keep track of the symptoms and how often the pain reoccurs. Also take note if it is getting stronger or maintaining the same strength...call your doctor if your still not sure and worried...hang in there!

Thanks! It looks likea flase alarm, but I have an ultrasound today. I think I am just panicky because I am not ready, and I hate being not ready for something. So tonights mission is to put together my bag and eveything for the hospital and put the pump together etc.

Keep an eye on it b/c it does almost sound like some labor pains. If they increase in frequency or intensity, go into see the dr.!! Especially since carrying twins is high risk, it would better to get checked out and told everything is fine than to just guess that everything is ok. Good luck and keep us updated!!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
