What are contractions ???

Question

‪Someone remind me how contractions work? False labor, the real thing, tightness, no tightness, is cramping considered a contraction? Do you time how long the contraction lasts or just how far apart? ‬
I have cramping. No I’m not dehydrated. Is that a contraction.

Answer

Contractions last about 30-40 sec within 5mins from each other, that’s active labor contractions

Answer

Also doctor real contractions you have difficulty breathing to and generally have to stop what you doing to focus on breathing. BH can mostly breath through and carry on with regular activity.

Answer

Have you ever felt like your entire abdomen has become a rock? Like you can no longer push it and get any softness? Yeah, that’s how you can be sure you’re having a contraction. It involves a lot of tightness and sometimes can make your abdomen uncomfortable.
But a way you can tell a Braxton Hicks from full blown labor is typically consistency. Braxton Hicks come and go very inconsistently, but once labor starts, they won’t stop coming. Also, if you’re wondering if you’ll know when you’re having actual labor contractions, trust me, you’ll know. Labor contractions are very intense, so it’ll be obvious when you have them.

Answer

If they feel like period cramps with some tightening, it’s contractions. And usually they do hurt but sometimes they don’t unless your water is broken then they hurt like hell lol.
