Back Labor?

What does back labor feel like? For the last 2 hours, my stomach has been rock hard, and my back aches. It doesn't come and go, it seems to be constant, it is my middle to lower back, it feels really stiff.  I tried changing positions, taking a warm bath. . . and nothing seems to really help.  Does this sound like back labor?

Back labor is horrible, i had it with my first. Yes, it does still come and goes like regular contractions its just that the contraction pain is actually in your back instead of your stomach. Yours could be the baby moving or braxton hicks. Drink lots of water and try to relax (:

I had this a few weeks ago and it comes and goes. I think it's related to contractions but when I asked the nurse about it she said back labor would still come in waves like it would front labor. So give it some time and see what happens is what I would suggest :)
