38 weeks pregnant entire back pain along with stomach tightening and lower abdominal pain so painful i can't move what's going on?

Labor?: At 38 wks gestation, back and/or abdominal pain my be contractions or braxton-hicks. Hydrate with several glasses if water, empty your bladder, lie on left side--if it goes away, likely braxton-hicks. If they continue, start timing the frequency and duration. Call your md per their instructions regarding labor, or if your water breaks.
