So I’ve been blessed in life and never really had “period cramps” so I don’t know what they feel like at all. So all day the top my stomach and pelvis has been tightening probably 30 minutes apart for about a minute or two which is bearable but I’m not able to move when it happens and it’s hard to breath. I don’t wanna go in to be sent home cause it’s a 45 minute drive depending on traffic. But would this be what contractions are.

PS they feel different from my Braxton Hicks

TIA!!!!!
