ive been having a lot of braxton hicks lately. not painful but uncomfortable. my whole stomach gets tight and theres a lot of pressure.

labor contractions are different. they are painful. hard to describe the feeling but you will know. when you are in active labor its hard to talk through a real contraction.

mine didn't feel like cramps at all. with my daughter I didn't even realize I had been having them cause everyone said they felt like cramps so that's what I was expecting... for me felt literally like a fist was pushing down on my vagina from the inside lol. just a lot of internal pressure and bearing down. but everyone is different so yours may feel like cramps who knows lol.

they feel like intense cramps. it comes and then it goes. they will last a certain period of time then go away then come right back again within minutes or maybe seconds. ouch😭

There is a distinct beginning and end to the pain feels like menstrual cramps times 100

like hell, simply put

Like the worse period pains you've ever had.
