Contractions ?

Question

First time mom so I don't know what contractions are supposed to feel like. I've been getting this sharp pains. It feels like a cramp but it only lasts seconds 5-10 seconds and goes away. 🤔 am I mistaken these for something else?

Answer

I’m a FTM as well. It is my understanding that Braxton Hicks are not supposed to be painful. I started having some and I thought it was just baby balling up in my belly but it was actually BH. If you’re having actual pain, I’d recommend calling your dr or calling labor &a; delivery just to get checked. Better safe than sorry!

Answer

Basically you'll feel your belly get extremely tight and hard. Normally it moves from your sides to the front and that feeling can be timed. Some are painful and some aren't.
