Anyone experienced back pain and pain in thighs before labour or at the start of labour?

I have been experiencing back pain all day. It usually goes away but today it hasnt. I have also in the last hour been experiencing pain in the front of my thighs!!! I will be 5 days overdue tomorrow.
Do you think labour may be starting???

1. with my first i went to hospital as they thought i had an infection then all of a suddon i was getting back ache i told the midwife she chexked me and i was already 4cm so it may could be , the pain in your thighs i have had since i was 30 weeks pregnant so could be either way

good luck x

2. my last labour was all in my back like a dull throb with pains spreading down to my thighs
they put me on a monitor to see if i was contracting that said NO!! but when they looked i was 5cms dilated and yep indeed in labour :-D
i was like that until 8cms when they broke my waters! then i had some pain in belly
i think u could be on your way now
good luck x x x
