Back labor vs normal labor??

[2016mommy2be]

Hi girls so im almost at the finish line only 29 more days to go and im really feeling anxious and scared all over again jeje :) with my first pregnancy when i started to go into labor i started feeling contractions in my lower back i guess what they call back labor omg it was painfull my contractions were over the roof since the beginning.. Well now this time around i started feeling i guess contractions every now and then but they feel different. Sort of like really bad cramps like my uterus is being twisted from the inside it feels far less painful than back contractions.... So my question is this what normal labor contractions feel like? Or can it be braxton hicks and it just feels different because of scar tissue from previous c section?

My first 2 labours were normal. First more painful than the second. But my third i had back labour didnt realise it was back labour till i was in full blown labour. The lead up was normal contractions in the front. But as i progressed omg was it painful. Me and her were back to back and she was looking up. Not an ideal way to deliver. I only had gas as i was too far along for anything else. And had gas for first 2 labours aswell.

Normal labor is more cramps in the uterus, and back labor, as you know wraps around to your back. lol, BH usually aren't painful, just a tightening, sounds like you're getting some real contractions however you won't know for sure if you're going to have back labor again until you're in the mix of it all, unfortunately. Good luck and congratulations!
