What are contractions meant to feel like?

Question

... because if they’re meant to feel like an in between of trapped gas and period pain I might be experiencing early signs!!

Answer

For me the real ones felt like my body was trying to turn inside out😫

Answer

Yep that’s pretty accurate.  Probably Braxton Hicks.  You won’t be able to mistake full blown contractions.  They feel like period cramps x10000

Answer

Yes I agree that they are probably Braxton Hicks. Real contractions are very painful. Much more painful than period cramps. I was in so much pain that I don’t remember much when I was having them except that I was in pain.

Answer

I would say thats exactly what they feel like

Answer

Sounds like Braxton hicks...they are like period cramps.

Answer

Okay. You described what I have been feeling today perfectly! Just started experiencing them today. 😊

Answer

Real contractions are consistent. They are like waves... the rise until a sharp climax and then slowly fade away. They are way more intense than gas or period cramps in my opinion.
