Back pain or back contractions?

So starting yesterday I had back pains. It lasts a few seconds and goes. It's not unbearable maybe a 4/5 on a pain chart. It was happening frequent nothing I timed (but was close together)  then went to 5 mins apart then stopped. It's starting again now. 

Is this a contraction? Its only on one side

My first instinct would say back pain, but if it continues for over an hour at regular intervals then I think you should contact your OB or MW...

Most contractions for me were like really severe period cramps that got worse over time...

Time it. If you see a pattern, then call into your OB. I've gotten what felt like BH in my back, and the pain was on one side. They were not regular though, so there was no need to call in.

Its hard to say. I spent the night in labor and delivery this weekend. I was having small irregular contractions and did not even know it because it was in my back and I thought was just bad back pain. My nurse pointed out they were contractions on the monitor and every time I felt back achey it showed a contraction. I would say that it could be either and every womans contractions and labor will vary. Try to time them and call your doctor.

I'd call it back pain until it occurs in regular intervals like pp said.
