So do contractions really feel like period cramps? Because I've been crampy literally all day and it's been constant and doesn't go away so if that's true how would I know if it's contractions because its in the lower part of my body?
@snookster1644 Lol Yeah I had no idea they could feel different ways...I just figured it always felt the same. With my 1st they felt more like menstrual cramps but I could tell they were contractions bc they were regular. But I see people say to others, "Oh you will just know." And I'm like oh really bc I didn't with my 2nd pregnancy. Lol But my 1st & 3rd I knew right away.
@lifeisgood2me lol I was induced with my first so I'm definitely not used to feeling them naturally and I've had no idea what they feel like. I was in the hospital a few days ago and the machine picked up contractions but I didn't even feel it at all so I felt like an idiot because I asked what they feel like and the dr said looked at me like "you didn't even feel that because those were contractions?" Lol
I've had 3 children and my contractions felt completely different with each labor. With my 2nd child I went in for my check up a couple days after my due date. After everything the doctor comes in and he's like so you're having contractions 3 minutes apart and you're 3 centimeters dilated! I was like really?! Can you have contractions and not even know it! 😂😂😂 I felt so stupid. Lol
Your stomach gets tight and hard it looks like your baby is getting pushed to the front of your belly. You get a pressure feeling in your belly it hurts. It isnt a constant pain it comes and goes.
Contractions for me are right down behind my public bone and more in the vaginal area rather than the abdomen exclusively.
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,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.

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...
You should go in. I didn’t even feel my contractions until my water broke, and by then it would have been to late to make it in! Luckily I was already in the hospital- I only knew I was having (strong) contractions because of the machine they hook you up to.
