what does contractions feel like?

To me, they felt like bad bad period cramps, i didnt ever have that feeling of having to poo... just felt like i needed every pain pill in the world lol.

I keep feeling these pains in my lower back I don't if they are braxton hicks

To me, it felt like baby was balling up and pushing out

Like someone's putting their hands in your belly and squeezing the life out of it. Lol. Your tummy gets super tight and you feel like you REALLY need to go 😷
