A member asked:
I'm 39 weeks pregnant and i've been having really bad lower back pains and contractions 5 minutes apart and my pelvic area is throbbing.

Might be labor: Difficult to say what exactly is going on. Someone at 39 weeks with regular contractions that have persisted should be evaluated. Not knowing your cervical dilatation and parity (how many children) makes it all the more important for you to call your doctor.
