How would you describe contractions

Morgan
This might be a dumb question... Will I know if I'm having contractions? I've had a lot of cramps and pains that I've got good at ignoring. A lot of people have told me contractions feel like cramps. I am pretty sure I have had some Braxton hicks contractions. How would you describe a contraction?
