so my son and i are eating a snack and i start having contractions and i been having back contractions all night long and my son stops eating and tells me 'go lay down right now lady and dont get up until you feel better!' haha my kids a dork
well....to me the only way i know theyre contractions is that my stomach gets really hard and my back has a non stop dull pain. its different for everyone, with my son it felt like period cramps x3 but its more of a tight uncomfortable feeling. my husband knows when i get them before i do cuz hes always rubbing my tummy and he says he feels the hardening and tightening of my stomach @dani4269 just pay close attention to the way you feel cuz some women dont know theyre in labor till like the baby is coming and their water finally breaks lol
