someone explain how your contractions felt when they started?

Question

i thought they’re severely supposed to hurt?
having consistent moderate/ severe period like cramps in my lower back/ pelvic area nothing too painful but they certainly hurt.

Answer

They start out like period cramps and progressively get worse. They aren’t super painful in the beginning

Answer

The pain gets progressively worse, but mine started out feeling like painful period cramps.

Answer

i had all back labor so nothing hurt but my back and hips never any belly pain for me

Answer

Mine felt like tightening all over my belly and was intense . Got to 4cm and they were still bearable but enough to make me breathe on and out slowly.

Answer

Both times mine have started out completely painless, they were tightenings across the front lower pelvis. As time went on they progressively became painful and lasted longer. 
Then I got to a point where the pain was unimaginable, ripping through my lower front, I had to concentrate and breath through them.

Answer

Mine started like period cramps and didn'tget bad until I was relativelyfar along. With my first, they weren't any worse than a period until I was 9 cm dilated. With my second, they started getting pretty bad around 6 cm.

Answer

If those are labor contractions, they will get much worse to the point you won't even question it's happening.

Answer

I had unproductive contractions, I could feel my muscles tightening and what not even timed them they weren’t painful at all and I knew it wasn’t true labor. Nurse was shocked when she hooked me up to NST and I was having them.

Answer

My situation is different than most but mine were strong. I would get sharp pains in the stomach that had me bending over. Over the next few weeks it grew to constant pain that felt like my stomach was squeezing. Right before I had to push I had a horrible back contraction then pushed.

Answer

Agree with the other poster. Mine started as back cramps, just like period, and then slowly got worse by wrapping around and tightening my stomach area.
