Breathing during contractions

Jenny 💙

Every time I have a cramp my natural instinct is to hold my breath. 33 weeks tomorrow and I haven’t had any Braxton Hicks. First time mom so I’m not sure what a contraction is going to feel like, but is it normal to think I’ll hold my breath? During labor what are the best breathing methods? I’m assuming holding my breath won’t work lol. Any advice would be awesome.
