There are other moms out there experiencing this same thing if you check out the daily symptoms thread

ETA: I just realized that I am on the third trimester board and not the June 15 board but yes, I am experiencing BH as well. I just rest and drink a lot of water and that helps

I have been feeling BH since 23 weeks. They have not been painful, however yesterday I I had one with back pain as well. My Dr. said not to worry, but if I feel 4 or more within an hour to let them know. If you are worried, call your Dr.! That is what they are there fore!

I'm in the same boat. Back pain is so uncomfortable

Ditto to hydration and resting. Deep breathing is a great strategy, just like it will be in labor. Also, look at spinningbabies.com. If the contractions are felt in your back, it may be a clue as to baby's position. If you can get baby in a more optimal position then the surges might move more to the front.
