Your abdomen gets really tight and hard. It feels like some one is squeezing you. The stronger the contraction the tighter (and longer) the squeezing feels. At least for me...

It felt more like pressure to me I thought I was constipated since I started on iron pills a few days before I knew I was in labor when the pain got stronger

I never had cramps either. I also didn't have contractions (that I knew of) until I went into labor and when that happened I just knew. When they first started it kinda felt like my tummy was upset and I needed to💩

it starts off like period cramps and then it starts feeling like hell lol 😩 theyre the worst pain ive ever felt in my life so far i had the pain in my back as well its the worst

mine feel like lower back pain that goes into belly making belly very tight causing me to lose my breath a bit

Well, I was induced and had back labor only. But when it first started (before I noticed they were contractions) it just felt like a very uncomfortable feeling. Like I was sitting in a position too long and started feeling sore, you know? Then it got superrrrrrrr intense to where I cried to my fiancé telling him I couldn't do it anymore as if I could stop my labor haha. It was all worth it!

me too I feel the same way!!
