Oddly happy

I know everyone dreads contractions. I’m dreading them myself. But I’ve made progress, hopefully. I always have Braxton Hicks contractions. But they’ve never hurt. But now they’re starting to hurt. Like I can definitely feel them. It feels like pinching gas pain. I asked a nurse what real contractions should feel like and since i never had period cramps, she said they would feel like really bad gas pains. I felt that just a few minutes ago. It’s not much, but I feel like something might happen eventually 😂
