Am I the only one who forgot how contractions feel?

Question

I think I’m having contractions? Woke up this morning and as I’m teleworking I have started to get like really bad period cramps?  Lower stomach and back. 
I thought it was me needing to do number two but my back is aching even after that. It stopped now but is that how it’s supposed to feel? 
Stupid question I know but I had my daughter 7 years ago at 16 so everything is a blur!

Answer

I forget too. With my first i was induced at 38+5 and never had braxton hicks and now almost 5 years later i really have no idea what to look for and just remember the bad contractions feeling like i had to take an awful poop.

Answer

I forgot too, and I just did this last June!! I woke up with the WORST lower back pain that wouldn’t go away. I couldn’t fall back to sleep until I laid in a different position. All I remember is that they felt like very strong period cramps that started at the top of my stomach all the way down to my back

Answer

With my first 9 years ago, it started off as period pains that’s how I knew, but I had that for two days before even going into hospital

Answer

Same! My last was 11 years ago and with this one I've been having damn b/h since 20ish weeks so its got me all confused! From what I remember tho it felt like tightening in my uterus that got more stronger and painful... i think.. 🤣

Answer

Yes there like period cramps but a bit more intense and around your vagina area. Mine happen like 6 to 10 times a day now and it always grows more intense. Just know though if your feelimg strong pains call your Dr. Amd let them tell you what to do.

Answer

All I remember is both times I had contractions they wrapped around back to belly slowly for 1 minute then released.

Answer

I had my first two years ago and I’m still not sure what contractions feel like! 😅 I was induced with him and had an epidural when the nurses recommended it, but my pain never progressed beyond mild/moderate period cramp feelings. They told me then that those were contractions but they were so mild compared to what I imagined that I still feel unsure haha.
I’ve been getting some mild period cramp feelings the past week off and on and told them about it at my doctor’s appointment on Tuesday. But I made sure to tell them I wasn’t sure if it was contractions and then would describe the feeling. They treated it like they were contractions so I’m assuming they are. 🤷🏻‍♀️
