How do I know I'm having contractions? I think I a but I'm unsure. I do not have cramping with my menstrual so this whole experience is kinda foreign to me. Help!! Today I've been kind of uncomfortable all day. I've had pain in my belly, lower back, and hips. Kinda feels like my period is about to come on.. just really achy. I've also been waaay more tired than usual this week. Tired as in hiding in my office for naps. 😞
