my stomach gets hard and I have like pain in my back is that actual contractions or just braxton hicks? not sure whether or not to time them
that's exactly what I felt, everyone kept telling me you'll know when you're in labor but I just thought I was cramping and having paid s from being constipated lol then I realized I was only getting these pains in waves and I realized I was in labor lol hope your doing ok!
@mommabear624, thank you, I feel the exact same, as if I'm constipated with back pains
If there is pain in the muscle and not just tightening and pain from baby being pushed against things, it's probably labor contractions but still could be early labor. You still want to time them to see if they are regular or get closer together.
This may be TMI but my contractions felt sharp in my back and I felt pressure like I had to go to the bathroom, I sat on the toilet for an hour before I realized I was in the beginning of labor lol my pain woke me up at 4am.
@mamaofangelbaby0610, okay thank you :)
you should probably time them then if you're not sure.

My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️

@mommabear624, I'm trying different things to see if it let's up so I know for sure its the real thing but I think it is when I lay on my side and they come I feel it in my lower stomach now
