Ughhhhh. . .I think I'm having contractions and I've been having them for a few hours now.

There is an app that can help you. When you start feeling it come on (tightening and menstrual like cramp that gets stronger) check the time. When it stop look again. See how long and far apart they are

@karnamarie, thanks!

@dang_dridri no problem hun!

@karnamarie, do you have an app that you recommend?

@kandice_stedman86

@kandice_stedman86 that's what I used

awesome thanks!!!

@dang_dridri, i dont know what real ones feel like either. i have some time 1st pregnancy amnesia.

Tightening of the stomach should start in the back and move to front

@kandice_stedman86, I've never been pregnant so I'm extra confused. Lol @kvanpage21 thanks! 😊

@dang_dridri Girls I didn't even know I was having contractions with my first. I went in because I lost my plug and had some bleeding (blood show didn't know) so the nurse told me to come in to get checked. They hooked me up and asked if I had been having any contractions and I said no. Well all the sudden I was uncomfortable and the nurse looked at me and said do you feel that? I said yeah, my son loves pushing on me this time every evening... She she looked at me and said "how long have you been feeling this ' pushing on you' feeling???" I said it "for weeks it's just gotten to be more and hurt worse recently" she said "honey, those are contractions and strong ones! You are in labor we will be admitting you now"

@karnamarie, oh shit! 😳 I feel like that will be me because I have a high pain tolerance & don't know what I'm looking for. Lol

@dang_dridri Tightening. When I felt tightening like my lungs where being squeezed and what felt like my son balling up in a ball is the best way to explain how it felt with my first. I was an athlete so my stomach was always hard from the beginning
