Contractions maybe?

Question

Okay so for about the past hour I've been experiencing tightening of the belly and pain starting in my back and in my vag area.. it hurts and I'm thinking it maybe contractions but idk ? They're lasting about a minute and a few seconds.. five mins apart... BUT they're not super unbearable what should I do? Idk if these are false labor pains or not 😐😩

Answer

well I had issue telling when I was having contractions.. but it was a Friday and I had a normal day but that morning I was having a tummy pain almost like a big poop was moving it's way out that pain u feel when ur getting close to having to poop. then it went away around 11am then came back at 3-4 pm. They stayed then but still wasn't convenced intill I stood up two different times and it's like I felt like I peed like a tiny bit two different times and had slight bleeding like was pink  so I ended up going into the hospital at 12am Saturday. I was 1 cm dialated and they kept me because I was scheduled to be induced Saturday at 1pm anyways. I ended up being in labor Friday Saturday and all the way till 3:00 Sunday. Had my beautiful baby boy at 3:45. Contractions get painful but to me that was the only thing that really hurt. And I honestly don't remember much of them. Because I breathed and stuff and closed my eyes but once I got the epidural I was free sailing. But by the time I had him it stopped working on my left side so I got the best of both and pushing him out literally felt like a stretch feeling and wasn't painful.6lbs and 13oz. you will do fine I promise if u feel like u need to go in go in! worst thing to happen u get sent home. my advice is get the whole house super clean before u go cause cleaning with a newborn is hella difficult
