What Causes Severe Lower Back Pain During 39 Weeks Of Pregnancy?
I am 39 weeks pregnant and i am experiencing intense lower back pains that last for about 30 secs and are around every 5-6 minutes. I lost some green colored mucus over the duration of 3 days not sure if it's my mucus plug. My water hasn't broken. Is this anything i should be worried about?

Hi,
I understand your concern.
At 39 weeks of pregnancy, to have backache for 30 seconds, every 5-6 minutes indicates labor pains. Mucus plug is white mucoid in consistency, it's never green.-- Green coloured discxharge while one is in labor is a matter of concern. You should visit ER, get examined for progress of labor & fetal heart sounds-- Doctor then may steps to stmulate child birth fast .
Thanks.
