Ok I'm a ftm and have no idea what I should watch for! :( what do real contractions feel like! :(

They feel like very intense cramps! And they come and go every few minutes. The closer apart they are the more intense they get. I promise when you have them you'll know.

@babyjay414,

my stomach keeps getting tight and then losenes but have no idea if it's him moving. I don't wanna be a fool and go I. and be told that I am still at my 1.5

And my water hasn't broke but lost my mucus plug yesterday @bentley_mommy

I lost my plug at 30 weeks and didn't have my daughter till a day before my due date. Loosing your plug really don't mean anything and when your water breaks you'll feel the pop and hear it and feel all the water flow. You may be having BH. Just time how long in between your stomach tighting and loosing and when they start and end. If they are under 5 minutes apart which you'd feel them and that's when they are very intense. I have a high pain tolerance but screw contractions lol worst pain I've ever felt @babyjay414

Lol well my doctor has said she dosent think my water is going to break on its own that once I start having contractions that they will have to break my water.. n I really any trying to avoid getting my membranes stripped next Wednesday!
