I don't know how contractions feel but I know I'm in complete PAIN .... how do you know if they are…

You will know. Lol.

How long do they last and how far apart are they?

Not really love my first and second time I didn't know @kandidenise1989,

Contractions won't go away when you rest and contractions won't let you sleep BH on the other hand will and go away within the hour or two contractions come in waves as well and each time they get stronger and strong but BH feel more like a tightening and can be uncomfortable but again people do experience differently depending on pain tolerance

Real will come more like a pattern and they will start to get stronger and get closer the more you have them. BH will stayed spaced out and not get as strong.

Good luck. ☺ Baby time can be anytime at this point.

Aww, Good luck. Sounds like it's almost baby time.

@kandidenise1989, they say every pregnancy is different but my friend thought she was having BH but was 4cm and having real contractions from what her doctor told her and yes she ended up having her bby girl yesterday afternoon but I'm asking as a FTM because I don't know what to expect

@farrahp08, lol I'm not sure yet

@farrahp08, but he's coming soon that's for sure

@mimiz, he's making my stomach tight from time to time it can't be contractions yet

in my opinion contractions feel like really intense period cramps

@mommy2kareem, I heard that from a few ppl but I always had terrible cramps 😩

It could be him moving also

@mimiz, his movements are painful but not like that
