What did it feel like when you first went into labor?

I'm waiting for my second baby to be born. I was induced with the first so I have no idea what spontaneous labor is like.

There are tons of stories available about active labor, but it's hard to find women discussing how they found early labor. Did it feel like mild twinges to you? Was it obvious you were having contractions or did you think they might be Braxton Hicks? How long did it take you to progress to active labor?

Any and all first person accounts would be so appreciated and give me something to compare while I wait.

(My wife is asking this question, btw.)
