    all sounds extremely normal to me im 5 days overdue and i have had heartburn for the last 3 months every night i have had barely any sleep and the discharge and backpains are just as common. dont worry it is normal and you will probably have alot more of it before bub is born (talking from experience) and now with the induction date drawing nearer im starting to panic but as far as pregnancy goes as everybody else has said pretty common symptoms and my heartburn has been known to spread up through my throat feeling like i have swallowed a razorblade so if that starts too its just the HB take some medicine (or drink a glass of milk if night time i find it works fantastic for coaxin me to sleep) good luck :)

    Backache is all part and parcel of the later stages of pregnancy, because your baby is heavy now and the muscles in the lower part of your body (back, pelvis etc) are relaxing ready for the birth of your baby. If you feel that there is something not right though it is best to pop to the hospital for a check up. Better to be safe than sorry!

    Sounds to me like you very well could be♥I had the same symptoms before I went into labor with my daughter, I had the backache for less than 5 minutes apart, and upset stomach, and loose bowels, (sorry TMI), but they were all symptoms of labor for me, and when I went to the hospital, I had my daughter 12 hours later♥

    Call your doctor, or go to the hospital to get checked out, it is better to be safe than sorry♥

    Good luck♥

    i don't think so at all i have had these symptoms for over a month now once so severly i went to the hospital! but it was nothing to them they sent me home, i felt as though my back was being ripped in two though for 6 hour straight accompanied by horrible BH! I am always up at night and miserable, just can't wait for the little one to come! good luck and hang in there girly

    Sounds normal. I've been feeling like that for weeks. You can take some Tums to help with the heartburn.

    nope, doesnt sound like labor. everything you are experience is normal. if you start having contractions that increase in pain and get closer together, or if your water breaks then get to the hospital. but until then, just sit back and relax. it wont be long
