Husband thought he was having an anxiety attack...
So, the other day, my husband told me he thought he felt like he'd had an anxiety attack earlier that day. Naturally I asked what it felt like, and he said he felt tightness in his chest right above his stomach and then like his throat closed just slightly to make his breathing a bit uneven. I looked at him for a long time before laughing and saying "Honey, that wasn't a panic attack, that was a contraction."
Been having varying degrees of Braxton Hicks for a couple weeks now, and even my mom described hers the same way that he did, only he doesn't have a uterus to tighten up.
Is this how most of you feel contractions? What do yours feel like?
