FTM Contractions?!

Emily

FTM here! I’m 37 weeks today and have been having BH for about two weeks now. I don’t think baby has fully dropped but I’ve been having increased pelvic pressure and it feels like my hips are being pulled apart for about 2 hours. Now about every twenty minutes, it feels like my lower back and up abdomen are tending up with increased pressure on my bladder. It definitely feels different than the BH I have been having.

I was wondering if this is what contractions feel like, as I have heard it feels like menstrual cramps...
