FTM what do contractions feel like?

Question

This may seem like a silly questions but how would you describe what contractions feel like?

Answer

Really bad period cramps. Your belly will harden and the pain will probably radiate down your lower back

Answer

Ive been thinking the exact same thing lol

Answer

Like period cramps x10, unless you experience back labor

Answer

Period cramps that just get more & more intense & your stomach/uterus will tighten & become stiff to where it’ll be uncomfortable, you’ll definitely know!

Answer

It feels different for everyone. In early labor for me, I could only feel the tightening with some discomfort being able to sit. If I was walking I would not feel any discomfort. Once I got to a 7, that’s when I would stop and feel the pain radiate from the from of my belly to the lower back with my stomach tightening.

Answer

I have never labored before, my first was a scheduled c section. But from what I’ve been told and experienced this pregnancy, it can feel like a menstrual cramp/back ache and then your belly tightens.

Answer

After having my bub yesterday, it honestly felt like the worst period cramps times by a thousand. The muscles in the belly/uterus get extremely hard as well, I personally felt as I was being torn at by my hips during the hips with each contraction. 
This is purely based off my experience, yours could be entirely different and how you would describe the process.
