Agonising lower back pain

I’m 40 weeks today and waiting around for baby girl to decide she’s ready to arrive, no signs or symptoms yet but this evening I have been experiencing really painful, throbbing back pain in my lower left side. The pain has gotten so unbearable that it’s made me feel nauseous! Is this a labour symptom? Has anyone else experienced this? TIA.

here for the comments. I am 40+2 and feeling exactly the same

Worth contacting the hospital, could be back labour. Where is your placenta ? Mine is at the back and was told if I'm in really bad back pain, I need to go to hospital within 40 mins

Mine started with really bad back pain yesterday morning. By around 9pm contractions at the front of bump started. My baby is back to back so it’s her position causing the back labour/ back pain. But I think back pain is quite common near the end and in labour.

40wks+1 still no sign of labour, really fed up at this point😔

I'd contact them, could be back labour. I didn't feel any contractions at the front with this it was all in my from start to finish. Worth seeing what they say

Midwife says baby has moved position and taken my cervix opening with her 😂 head is very low putting pressure on sciatic nerves and now my coccyx hence the pain. Best thing to do is to sit up straight, walks etc. 🤞🏻 basically the last thing I want to be doing at 40 weeks!
