Just know real contraction are uncomfortable and painful
It feels like your muscles are doing the wave, starting at the top of your belly and sides and rolling down. Mine werent very painful til the end. They were more like intense cramps. It felt like your body is pushing your baby down. time your contractions... My docs rule is if they're 5 min. Apart lasting about 1 min for about 1 hour to head to the hospital... Remember 511. Good luck!
Mine felt like very tight on my stomache and then a lot of pressure at the bottom of my stomache like near pelvic bone.. also with my first I was only at a two when I arrived and they didnt send me home g luck!
I'd describe contractions as intense period pains,my contractions seemed to start in my back then move round front of bump and whilst having 1 I could only get comfy layed on my left side
Like the ebb of a wave crashing on top of you. Worst pain I've ever felt. So glad I don't remember exactly what it felt like. Just that it hurt so badly.
