They don't have to be painful just really uncomfortable. Mine just very uncomfortable and my back killing me. Hang in there momma!

I didn't feel mine for the first 44 hours. then at 8cm I definitely did

yep.. barely felt them until it was time to push.

Same here, Unless I'm in major pain or water broke it would be hard to convince me I'm in labor. I'm timing them, but when there is no tightening/cramping I feel perfectly fine

Mine where like that when I was in labor they didn't hurt just little cramping.
