Like a cramp in your stomach, but the most intense cramp. I mostly had back pain, so it was like when back hurts but worse. Also it comes and goes. I think back labor would have been easier but I couldn't walk around much because I was induced so they needed me on monitors

If you are a lady, it's period cramps (uterus does have contraction for period). Contractions vary in labor, so the medium contractions were like bad period cramps.
