Labor feeling

I just wanted to know how you'd describe labor(for those that have gone through it already). Every time i've asked, people just say you'll know. Is it stronger cramps, feels like a stronger braxton hicks, more frequent rib pains??? Any descriptions you could give would be great since i'm getting close and "you'll know" isn't helping any. Thanks

The worst period cramps ever that last about a minute. I don't know if I want to scream or cry and I don't want anyone touching me when I am having them.

Its more than just an uncomfortable pain. It'll be the only thing you can  focus on and want to kill who ever tries talking to you and asks it your okay. Hahah.. oh I cant wait. .. again : )

It's extremely painful, it starts from your belly and goes to your vagina.. only thing that helped me was breathing

My experience :
Started about 11 p.m with my first. I felt an achy feeling like a menstral cramp On and off. Then i felt like i had to go number 2. I was so tired and just wanted to sleep. But it got alot more intense so i decided to go to the bathroom and see if that would help. Nothing came out . So layed back down and the feeling got more like intense menstral cramps the kind you just want to cuddle ur stomache on the floor and cry. So woke hubby up to take me to the hospital and by the time we got there the pain was a dual ache that wouldnt go away that lasted longer and grew more and more intense. Around 3 a.m thats when they got super duper strong . i had to get the oxygen thing on me because i couldnt breath.
