How to Tell the Difference Between Cramps and Contractions?

So I got a membrane sweep today and you know my doctor told me that I would start cramping and probably have some bleeding well I did start cramping. But what if some of these cramps are contractions and I just don't know it. How do you guys know the difference between the two.

For me, I can tell the pains are contractions by the way my stomach. If you feel tightness going throughout your belly, then it’s a contraction.

Honestly after my sweep I had cramps which I found out later were contractions but they didn’t get band until after my water broke the next day (which STILL they didn’t hurt) but once at the hospital they had to start my pitocin since my water broke and about an hour into that the cramps got bad...like a bad bad period and those were indeed contractions. If your water breaks from this sweep you still might not feel contractions. I was only 1cm dilated when mine broke. I woke up the day after that sweep feeling great but losing bloody mucus and by the next day my water broke. It took 2 days

You’ll know contractions. They are far worse than cramps.
