Anyone have early labor start with under the bump contractions? Been having menstrual cramp type pains on/off all day and tightenings. Now having stronger wrap around contractions, but they are low in my belly. I've always heard contractions start at the top of the uterus and go down. This is my third pregnancy (second baby) but my first labor was super weird and I ended up with an emergency cesarean.

These lower belly contractions feel fairly strong (but painful) and wrap around. They're close together, but short.
