yes I c

@josiah16, just basing it from my experience yes definitely but no labor experience is really ever the same

With my first pregnancy I was at Walmart walking around and I started to get alot of pelvic pressure and strong back pain to the point where I kept bending over because it hurt a lot. I went home and took a nap with my husband and my back still kept hurting and so I called my dr and she said it could be contractions but wasn't sure since it was only back pain. But then after a hour I felt like I had to poop and the dr said she wanted me to come in and that's when I found out I was in labor.

@windingsmama4, so u would prefer stomach over back

with my first 2 pregnancies my stomach would tense up really bad and with my 3rd all i had was terrible back labor that being said im hoping with this pregnancy there won't be any back labor

I knew I was having contractions when my stomach was tightening out of nowhere ... I timed the heavy pain once they were 2-3 mins apart I knew for sure baby was on his way! .... I could barely walk , couldn't sleep , and I was constantly using the bathroom almost every 15 mins ... It's like your body knows what's happening so it flushes your system... And I also lost my mucus plug so that's when I went to the hospital Asappp

Oh god that's scary @mantha823

I couldn't move when I was having contractions

you're welcome

@arijane316, ok thanks well said

you'll know when they start. I had just gotten out of the shower when mine started. its like BH but all over your belly and cramping in your back and lower abdomen, pressure in your vagina. I also got short of breath every time they came on. they last for about a minute and get stronger as they get closer together
