I have tried drinking more and doesn't seem to help...what's creating the doubt in me is the fact that I had the same feeling when I was hooked up to the contraction monitor and they said I was contracting...I go in today so I'll have them check me again...ik everyone handles things differently as far as pain but is contractions a universal feeling lol

It could, it could not be. Everyone feels them differently. I had a friend on here who was in full blown labor and didn't feel a thing. If I were you I'd try drinking more water and lay on your side. Could they be Braxton hicks? I'd think a contraction would last longer. It may get worse though when you're in actual active labor too.
