What did beginning of contractions feel like?

Question

I had to be induced with my first so my contractions were very sudden but I was curious what you ladies who started labor naturally what your contractions felt like?

Answer

Like I had to poop, so I did lol, then like 10 min later I pooped a little more, then a little more, until there was no poop left and I thought hmm maybe I should start timing these...

Answer

Braxton Hicks. Which I had my entire pregnancy every time. I couldn’t tell the difference for hours. By the end I’m always getting them pretty consistently regardless of eating. So early contractions just felt like tightening then eventually they start getting a little more painful but for me it’s always a slow progression. With my first my water broke during one so that was obvious. My second I wasn’t positive I was in labor till about 4 hours before I had her even though I had been in early labor for like 18 hours.

Insane pain that I couldn't walk off , sometimes felt like I needed to poop (but couldn't).
