So Im sure almost all FTMs have been at this stage. Im 38+5, and I honestly just sit here playing the waiting game and really trying to figure out what these contractions feel like. I havnt even had BH as far as I know. The most I feel lately is some period like cramping that I can sometimes feel in my back and thighs. And a decent amount of lightning crotch. But contractions... even practice ones ... nothing this whole pregnancy. I know everyone says oh don't worry when it happens you'll know, but I just honestly don't even know what to expect and it's driving me nuts lol. Anyone want to tell me how theirs personally felt and how you knew it was early labor ??
