So tmi my dr suggested I use a laxative. Took them last night. This morning, I am getting some crazy intense cramps before ..you know... and it seriously is nearing the intensity of the contractions I had when I was in labor with my son. Probably not quite as bad, but honestly close. Like I have to stop what I’m doing and breathe through them, I can’t talk or move. Like no joke It HURTS.

My point is... well, for one, never taking this s*** again (no pun intended), and two, if you’re a ftm wondering what contractions feel like and you’ve ever felt what I’m talking about, then you may have some idea of what’s to come!! Just sharing cause I remember being so unsure and curious before I gave birth. Also I know labor is different for everyone, and these cramps aren’t making me cry like labor did, but I still think it’s a close feeling.

Edit: I’m not currently pregnant (ttc #2) so no I’m not taking those pills while pregnant, just wanted to share for anyone curious about contractions.

Edit again: not trying to scare anyone lol I just remember wanting some examples of what it feels like when I was pregnant
