Okay so are contractions more similar to period cramps or constipation pain? Because I've heard differently from so many people that have been having their babies here lately. I'm not having any just kinda wondering.
Neither in my opinion. More like your pelvic area being torn apart. It's kinda hard to explain. I'm not sure where people get cramps from. It feel like you're being ripped from the front to your lower back. @emteebee
Mine first felt like period cramps, then when my water broke they felt like horrible gas pain, I felt like I had bad diarrhea, they made me shake and cry, and I have a pretty good pain tolerance lol
If you've had Braxton hix, they're more like that but with pain. Mine from my first was like a thick belt tightening all around my middle and then period cramps on top. But not period cramps like the intensity, no they are way worse. It's period cramps due to the location the cramps are in. Then they radiate to the back lol.
With my first, it started out as just feeling like a period cramping... until my water broke. Then it was BAD.
lol to me they are hard describe. but what I can say is oh baby you will definitely know when u have them because the world stops
The first couple of contraction felt like period cramps, just a lot stronger then period cramping lol and then once they broke my water the epidural wore off and I was feeling contractions as highly as 80 and those hurt so bad! I scared my husband, neither one of us knew they'd be that painful lol not to scare you or anything
