Dumb question anyone remember what contractions feel like?

to me it's like I am being squeezed and having period cramps and it's painful but mildly then it gets more and more painful to where I can't concentrate and have to stop what I am doing.

horrible period-like cramps and lower back pain

I keep having this very strong tightness around my stomach and back lasting 30 seconds 1mins about 5 mins apart. if it keeps coming I'm going to the Hospital. because I'm not due for around few months

It does sound like contractions. I was having contractions since 17 weeks sadly. How many have you had so far? Have you tried drinking water and laying on your side?

being totally honest with my first one I leo telling my mother n law I felt like I had to poop really bad and she said it was contractions

6 within 30mins, yea. No thing helps and they keep coming. Today they just got worst. I just wanted to double check I wasn't crazy

@vanna_west, that sounds like you were ready to give birth

I was at a 4 when I got to the hospital but he was breech so I ended up with a csection about 3 hours after getting there by then I was at a 6

I was induced at last min because my bp skyrocketed

I don't even remember what they felt like. lol

I remembered being very uncomfortable but not in pain. that was without a edipural

I would go to l&d if they don't let up hun.

I am having contractions but not that strong. I think it may be braxton hicks mix they feel worst right now
