labour?

[kirstylv23]

Feel silly for asking,  but I'm a ftm and have no idea about where you feel contractions. I keep getting like period pains in my lower abdomen and lower back feel like they last ages but really only a min. I just wondered if your  supposed to feel them in your whole belly?  My whole belly does go hard when j get the pain. And I'd say I've had about 4 lots of these pain in about 7hours. Is this slow labour?

[kirstylv23]

Between the kadt 2 pains it was 2hours 20mins. Not very quick lol

I'm not timing the hard belly with no pain. Just the period pain 1s is that right?

My first labor started like that. Lasted a bit over 24 hours.

Hard belly only is braxton hicks...lower belly labour will progress and get stronger, longer, and more intense if its time...

If it is labour its bloody slow. Not had 1 in the last 2hours.

I've been having them for a while  1 every so often for a couple of weeks now. But sometimes its no pain just a hard belly if I'm doing something. Trying not to get too excited lol.

Your whole belly is hard when happens= contractions. Good luck God bless

Just time them, if it becomes every minute I think you should really go to the hospital. It sounds like labor. God bless you and baby!! How exciting! And there is no such thing as a silly question.
