I have a pretty high pain tolerance too. And to the point where I put off horrible pains until I need to go to the hospital for surgery aka my gallbladder lol but when your contractions first start it's just a dull annoying pain in my opinion and you feel like you need to poop all the time lol but when the contractions become closer together it gets pretty painful. My issue was I would tense up and hold my breath every time one would come and when they were about a min apart It was not fun. But you will know when it's time. So just remember breathe through them and don't tense up!

I know heartburn is minimal to contractions  . But I went 3 days with a broken arm I just thought it was bruised and jammed up but both bones were snapped. Buckled and rotated ... all I had done was iced it a little ...im just gunna wait and talk to my doctor and maybe they can help a little on what to expect

Im not positively sure about my comment now but i think that if u have a high pain tolerance then mayb u wont die seperatly by each contraction. ... When i had mine they were SOOOOOO intense that i told my doc if my epi duzn kick in before the next one my baby wont have a mom!  Lol!  It was gruesome! !! And to my luck it was after my water broke cuz before that i only had back pain. .. But im x sure bout u cuz i aint got a high pain tolerance so. ... Good luck to u! And btw heartburns vs contractions is like a -5 to 500..  In my experience! !
