I thought it'd be the best place for my question.

PLEASE tell me what your early contractions felt like?? The ones you time at home or when you first thought it was labour.

I'm 38 weeks and have no idea, I've had one horrendous menstrual like cramp woke me up that lasted maybe 5 mins (too long, don't think it was a contraction).

Other than that, I can never tell whether my stomach being hard and uncomfortable is a contraction/Braxton Hicks or my baby's body pushing out 😣
