Any tips for back labor?

Barbie

I have 3 older boys (including a set of twins) and had 2 miscarriages before them, but I never had back labor before.

I am 30 weeks pregnant now, and have a strong suspicion that I might end up with back labor when it is time to have this baby.

I have had way more back pain in general than my other pregnancies, and have also had a few instances over the past couple of weeks where I have been getting strong Braxton Hicks while also having menstrual like cramping and those instances are always accompanied by intense lower back pain.

Hopefully I am wrong and won't experience back labor, but does anyone who has "been there, done that" have any tips for managing the pain if I do? I am not planning to use an epidural.
