Can someone please describe to me what contractions are suppose to feel like and what "tightening" feels like!! My midwife says it's a tightening feeling I have no clue what that's suppose to feel like. I've read online but haven't been very helpful!! Thanks!
You will know when you have contractions it feels like your insides are ripping apart at least that's what I felt when I was induced sadly my body didn't do itself & tightening your stomach along will be rock hard
I was told it feels like a really bad period cramp. I never felt my contractions. I just had back pain & it got worse so I went to the hospital & found out I was in labor. Everyone's different. Towards the end it was still back pain but I felt pressure down there that's how I knew I needed to start pushing soon. I have a high tolerance of pain but everyone is different
It's pretty hard to explain. When I had contractions they were just a horrible period cramp that was unbearable. But after the epi, it literally felt like tightening of your stomach. Like every thing got super tense inside and idk how to explain! lol but you'll understand once you start having them you'll just know
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Usually starts with mild cramping in Lower abdomen or back. Tightening is when your tummy gets rock hard for a few then stops and a lot of times that will accompany the cramping.
