Feels like really bad cramps, like @mykids4dar says the pain starts from your back then travels to your stomach. Contractions are rythamic so make sure you time them. Contractions that are 5 minutes apart should not be ignored, call your dr or midwife.

Contractions are different for everyone. Sometimes they start in the back and go around to the front or just in the back. Good luck!
