What did contractions feel like for you????

Question

I’m 35 weeks. 
This is my 3rd pregnancy. 
But I was induced with my other 2 kids... and didn’t experience The contractions where your entire belly tightens??? 
All I felt was pelvic pain the day I was induced. 
Is that considered contractions? 
I’m feeling pelvic pain right now. 
It’s not bad but it’s uncomfortable 🥵

Answer

Mine always started out as bad cramps at first. They hurt, became consistent, I could tell when they were starting & stopping, & then they started getting WAY more intense. Just keep track of anything painful, how long, how often, etc.

Answer

Just intense pressure.

Answer

They're the worst fucking thing in this planet. I waited way too long to get an epidural. Every time I felt my stomach tightening & I knew a new contraction was coming I would just start to cry, it got really bad. I wasn't even in the transition stage at that point & the contractions were terrible !

Answer

I’ve had a lot of Braxton Hicks contractions where your whole stomach gets hard and sometimes it takes my breath away I’m 33 weeks and sometimes I’m like omg I can’t breathe but the doctor said if it last for 30 min to 1 hr and 5-10 min apart go to hospital it’s the real deal

Answer

To me it was just very bad cramps. Then they got intense and it was very very bad cramps that went around my hips down my legs. It felt like my bones were about to break

Answer

It could be Braxton Hicks or practice contractions. 
My contractions with my son felt like someone was squeezing me around the pelvis. I had back labor so it started in the back and moved to the front. Once they were real labor contractions they were consistent and painful.
