Think of the feeling of too many sit ups. That is how it starts out. The hurting part will come closer to the end when you hit active labor.

honestly it's not that bad the second tome but the first time omg the nurses hated me. but i never lost my mucus plug and my water never broke.

You can have contractions without losing your mucus plug or water breaking. Some are different when it comes to having contractions, some feel them and others dont. When I was 22 weeks, I started going into labor because part of my placenta detached and with contractions it felt really terrible. Worse than period cramps and it was constant. I couldn't roll over, stand, or lay down without being in pain and it hurt so bad I cried. Luckily they stopped labor. But some say they experience stomach pain that spreads to the back.

ppl tell me they hurt I'm so scared of pain

yes, and I can't tell you how the contractions feel I've had them but never felt them

I did. but they were Braxton Hicks contractions.
