back pain or preterm labor

how do you tell difference of regular back pains and preterm labor?

im 23wks preg got a cervical calage a week ago due to cervix shortening and dilated to 1cm.

history of preterm labor and preemies...

i been having dual minor back pains n hip...

during my other pregnancies, i would have large/major contractions but couldn't tell till i was farther in labor that's why hard to tell now

With back labor, it still comes in measurable waves that you can time.
