How do you know if your having contractions.. I get nervous I might be feeling them but I have a high pain tolerance...

Contractions are close get stronger each time and feel like cramps rather than tightening

Stomach hardness with cramping and it comes and goes

It feels like menstrual cramps but worse!

They start at top by your ribs

Trust me, you'll know!

With me they feel like the worst gas pains imaginable, like when you take a strong laxative those pains that you get when they kick in all my God it's like that pain times 50000 that's always how I described it
