so I've been feeling hard pressure that turns into sharp pain then eases back into the pressure. thought they were ready contractions but nope. everyone's telling me I shouldn't feel pressure, just pain. on top of that I can't lean back. when I sit up my lower back is full of sharp pain & more pressure. excuse me while I die waiting for real contractions 😭😭
