What do contractions feel like? I'm so confused. Every one saids they feel like period cramps? But…

u will definitely know what they feel like when u get them trust me. I was the same way with my first so worried i wouldn't know. they hit ya an u will know

She's right. You know. For me it was all in my lower back. My tummy never got hard once. I was like, "ugh, why is my back achey?!" And then I realized that they were continuous. So, I started timing it and they gradually got more painful. You'll know. 💗

it feels like really bad period cramps with or without the tightening

yes you will know when you get them. they usually start going and coming every half hour and little by little they get closer together and stronger. you will definitely know when they come 😉

Thanks ladies! @momof031989 @jennatess @midwestgirl16 @momtobeagain

it's actually different for everyone. I could walk/talk/sleep through my contractions, but I have a very high pain tolerance. my kidney stones hurt a million times worse than my contractions ever did. I went through 27 hours of labor with no pain killer/epidural and never hurt bad enough to even groan. hopefully you don't end up in too much pain, I wish you the best of luck with your pregnancy and labor 😆

Thank you!! I've definitely had some false contractions and those were pretty intense so I'm a little scared with the real ones @ginnalynn

I agree with @ginnalynn my contractions only hurt once I hit eight centimeters
