I had back labor. Mine was constant, but it felt like menstrual cramps. The pain in the front came and went. Two days prior I had the same thing, but the pain in front was constant. For this reason I didn't know I was in labor. Lol. I am FTM too and barely got to the hospital in time. I was dilated 6 cm by the time I got there. I think it was wasn't even an hour before I was fully dilated.

Try taking a hot bath. That completely made my back pain go away even when I was in labor and didn't know it. I started spotting and finally realized it was time.

I thought if you lost your mucus plug you had to go to the ER ( don't freak, this is just a question)  and it sounded like you lost yours.. is the MP the same as your water breaking?

Back labor is labor pains you feel in your back. Your baby might be facing the wrong way. Not breech, but facing away from your back instead of towards it. Call labor and delivery or just go in. You can also try sitting on an exercise ball or leaning over the back of a chair while someone presses on your lower back for pain relief.
