Every pregnancy is different, i was fine with my first child but my second i couldn't walk after 35 weeks too painful

it sounds like the baby is laying funny that sometimes happen and puts presser on your back it also could be the baby getting ready to come in to the world but i think you should ask you mid wife next time you go tho
but dontt worry if the baby does come early tho as my little girls came 6 weeks early and she is fine

I haven't experience the pain while on the toilet, but I do occasionaly experience a sharp back or side pain when I move akquardly (sp?,lol) I also have had back pain since aobut 8 weeks because of large breast as well. Anytime I ring the doctor and tell them about the pain they tell me not to worry if it goes away when you adjust your body. As for the hot flashes and feeling light headed, it is most likely because the way the baby is positioned. I've been getting hot flashes/dizziness since 14 weeks, but they were only every month or so, latley it's been every other day, plus nauseus is coming back. If your worried about it, give your doctor a call, no question is too silly. Congrats....Do you know what you are having?

You probably are facing the false labor
Signs of false labor include:

*
Contractions are irregular and unpredictable (for example, in intervals of ten minutes, six minutes, two minutes, eight minutes, etc.)
*
No progression is seen over time
*
Contractions are felt as a generalized abdominal tightening
*
Change in activity or position causes contractions to slow down or stop
*
There is usually no bloody show
*
Membranes will not rupture

False Labor vs. True Labor:

How frequent are your contractions? Record your contractions using a watch or clock, jotting down the time the first one begins and the next one begins. True labor develops into a regular pattern, with contractions growing closer together. In false labor they remain irregular.

How long does each one last? Record how long each contraction lasts by jotting down when it begins and when it stops. True contractions last more than 30 seconds at the onset and get progressively longer, up to 60 seconds. False labor contractions vary in length and intensity.

Do the contractions continue with change in activity? The contractions in true labor continue regardless of activity and even grow stronger with increased activity such as walking. False labor contractions often stop regardless of activity.

Where do you feel the contractions? In true labor the pain tends to begin high in your abdomen, radiating throughout your entire abdomen and lower back, or visa versa. In false labor the contractions are often concentrated in the lower abdomen and groin.

Even after trying to monitor all of these signs of labor, you may not know whether you're truly in labor. Some women have painful contractions for days with no cervical changes, but others may feel only a little pressure and backache.

If it's not a normal back ache I would call my ob/gyn. Better safe than sorry.
