Can someone explain to me what contractions feel like?

for me I couldn't walk or move or talk, my whole belly was really tight and hard. really sharp pains.

A period cramp that starts low and grows up your tummy... During hard labor it's very intense BUT it's what our bodies are made for.

I should also add I slept through the earlier contractions when I woke up they were instense and just got worse, so at that point they did not feel like period cramps at all they were worse.

@their.bomb.ass.mom @coraanne I'm trying to figure out if that's what I felt but I'm honestly not sure. Last night it started with really sharp pains in my area (sry tmi) every couple minutes and then I felt like a really bad cramp in my stomach once and from that point on it was just little tiny pulses of cramps that didn't really hurt if that makes sense with those pains again. But it made me really hot and sweaty

It could be your muscles stretching but I would call labor and delivery or your doctor and ask them what they think. Are you still having the pains?

@coraanne no not right now. Also at the time it happened I tried to get up from bed but it really hurt my hips and thighs. The only pains I get frequently is the ones I get in my area

I'd call your doc hun.

@coraanne okay thank you for answering
