I'm 34 weeks and I just want to be prepared. What do real contractions feel like? How painful are they?

Every women feels them differently. Mine started out feeling like menstral cramps. They were 12 mins apart and concistantly got closer together. For me they did not feel painful until I was dilated to an 8. I only felt pain in my lower back but my son was face up and had his chin upwards so I had back labor. Braxton hicks just feel like a tightening of the abdominal muscles to me.

Being stabbed. I have been sitting on a birthing ball to try and get my baby into a good position before labor.

I didn't have any BH my first. But it just felt like really bad cramps, the labor in my back at the time felt like I was
