So I’ve been feeling this tightening of my entire belly every few minutes for the past 30-ish minutes, but it isn’t necessarily painful. It just feels like I’ve done a bunch of sit ups and it burns a little and feels really tight. Is this how contractions feel when they first start out? I guess I imagined they’d be more painful or obvious, and it feels different than the lower belly cramps I get with Braxton Hicks. However, a couple of them have made me have some pain in my lower back and the fronts and backs of my thighs
