I'm a ftm...please describe bh and labor contractions? in detail please... im annoying I know

Braxton hicks aren't suppose to be painful they're a tightening sensation that radiate all over your stomach and have no pattern ( they can can be painful ) real contractions can be timed due to having a pattern, they start off not so painful and get worse to me it felt like something was ripping my uterus apart or trying I guess, it starts at the top of my stomach and radiates down all the way to right above my pelvis baby stops moving when that happens ( atleast for me)

I'll tell you what my mom told me... if you're not brought to your knees, they aren't labor contractions

^^^ true story. @sassymom619 lol you'll definitely know when its time. they'll just continue to get worse instead of better. Eventually you can't walk or talk through the real ones. @mommyof2016

well since 12 I've been in alot of pain it starts from my belly and goes down and there really sharp and right now I'm laying on my left side and have horrible constant pain on my belly

If you can time them do it, but if you can't its probably stretching or jus BH @mommyof2016 contractions aren't a constant pain, you can literally feel when one is coming.

I was not down on my knees and dialated to a 5 with baby two.. However I know this .. BH don't hurt and contractions can be crampy or painful and also in the back

I have lower back pain and my entire belly is hurting right now

I had contractions I couldn't feel that were real, they watched them on the monitor my 2nd preterm now my 3rd and up fuck that😂😂 I thought I was dying

Well call L&D

@mommyof2016 if it's not a noticeable start and stop they arent contractions

When I had my son and those contractions was sharp and worse at 7-8 cm I wanted to ripped that mess out my arm and wobble out the hospital even though I was knowing it was impossible lol
