Can anyone share how their contractions felt and how they knew it was real and not Braxton Hicks? I didn't even get contractions with my first until after my water broke at 4cm but I still didn't have them get close together and I can't remember what they felt like. I'm 34 weeks today and hurting something awful, had my cervix checked a week ago and it was 1 cm dilated but my Dr didn't check it this week and just have me flexaril for my pain instead. I just need some opinions and stories I guess lol
