All day yesterday I felt like I was going to start my period, just dull yucky feeling, the cramping. I've had Braxton hicks so much I know exactly what they are. They do not hurt, more of just uncomfortable feeling, they last 20 seconds and then they're gone. But as of today I feel like such strong periods cramps and it HURTS I mean bad. Nothing like my Braxton hicks.. my mom says this is how her labor started but I've had so many false alarms with him trying to come I have no idea what to expect. Any tips? I'm going to drink a lot of water maybe that will help.
