Contractions feel like??

Question

FTM, and I know this may be a dumb question, but what do contractions feel like? How would you describe them? And what to look out for? 
I’m so nervous I’m just gonna dismiss them and give birth at anytime and anywhere😂

Answer

Everyone says you'll know. 🙄I didnt know with my first. It took my neighbor across the street to tell me I was in labor lol.  I didnt think I was because it didnt match everyone's description and I didn't "know"
Anyway...mine felt EXACTLY like period  cramps. Not helpful if you've never had them, sorry... It was ONLY like period cramps. Just pain really low. Nothing wrapping around me, no back pain, nothing.

Answer

I would feel it come from my back and wrap around the front and tighten really hard. I didn’t find it feeling like period cramps, just major tightening and stabbing then it leaves, like a gentle wave rolling through lik

Answer

SUPER strong period cramps that come in waves.

Answer

For me it was a lot of pressure in my back - not so much period cramps like lots of people describe. It’s really rare to labour without some pretty obvious discomfort - you might be uncertain about early labour but you’ll almost definitely know when it’s the real deal because you won’t be able to dismiss it.

Answer

You will know! I thought they also felt like strong period cramps that would come and go.

Answer

Trust me you won’t you will know.. for me it felt like a period cramp that came and left and came again... it even takes your breath.
