When I was having them it felt like a real bad poop pain ....real bad cramps

Feels like someone is stabbing you in the stomach. It hurts so much. Then all of a sudden the pain is gone, just as quick as it came.

@thepowerof3 @bigmama18 okay ladies so yesterday I was only 1cm dilated amd 80% effaced. I'm having a tight pain at the bottom of my stomach that feels like an irritating cramp. Not nearly as bad as my real cramps but similar that lasts a bit and then goes away and comes back. I'm wondering if I should time them.

@muva.tings, I would say time them it sounds like contractions

@thepowerof3 okay, thank you so much. Nothing has really felt as described during this pregnancy and I know every womans experience is different so I wasn't sure.

@muva.tings, that sounds like Braxton Hicks. They are like mild cramps. I believe real labor contractions are like that but a lot stronger and cover the entire belly. That’s how it is for me at least.

I would time them just to make sure. If they get to 5 mins apart call L&D.

@bigmama18 okay because I had what my doctor said were probably braxton hicks earlier this week maybe these are more of those they just feel different.

Real contractions are unbearable and more consistent much worse then menustral cramps Braxton Hicks are bearable more like a tightening of the bellow and kind of takes your breathe away sometimes lasts for about 60 seconds.

@prettygurl_30 99% sure these are just braxton hicks then. They're coming every 6 mins but are definitely bearable.

I guess rule of thumb is if you’re asking then it’s not a real contraction 🤣 - my Braxton-Hicks never hurt - they’re uncomfortably tight but no pain.

@muva.tings, awww, honestly i could have been overreacting because I don’t get cramps during my cycles so I wasn’t ready at all. Everybody got cursed out 😂
