Drink a big glass of water and go lie down on your left side.  If the pain subsides, then you're ok.  Some people have painful Braxton Hicks, some dont.  Some hurt in their back, some dont.  Its different for everyone.  But if it continues after lying down for 30-45 minutes call your ob.

That does not sound normal. Braxton hicks aren't supposed to hurt and they aren't consistent. You definately shouldnt be feeling them in your back either. I would get checked out to be on the safe side.

Braxton hicks are not supposed to hurt. Just a tigtening of uterus but not painful. I would go to er or call dr if they r still open just to be checked out
