How did your contractions start?

Just wondering at what others experiences are. I'm 40w+3 and haven't felt any braxton hicks, or "tightness" that I might consider a contraction. Just wondering when you went into labour how did your contractions start? Were they a back pain? A gradual increase of pressure? How long did it take for them to start to become painful? How far apart were they at first? I realize that every women is different, but it would be nice to hear from others and what they had (:

Well I was induced, but my contractions started off feeling like an overwhelming uncomfortable tightness and like strong period cramps.
