Back labor?

For anyone who may have experienced this... Does back labor always wrap around to the front when you are having contractions? 

My doc stripped my membranes yesterday and afterward I was having a lot of cramping and back pain, but this morning (and probably last night since I woke up about 30 times from the back pain) it seems to be a more "ebb and flow" kind of pain.  It will be fine and then gradually get more severe to a peak and then subside - but I don't ever really feel a "tightening" per se in my uterus.  I can't figure out if these are actual contractions or just residual back pain.  They are only lasting about 20-30 seconds and not quite every 20-30 minutes.

Thanks for any advice!

    I experienced a lot of back labour in the beginning of my labour since E was "sunny side up" until it came time to push. I did feel the tightening of the uterus, and then it would spread all the way to my back.

    What you're experiencing definitely sounds like it could be contractions.
