contractions feel like gas pain

I know it sounds dumb. But out of no where i got nauseous and i feel like i have a fever && i got this pain in my lower back. At first i thought they were gas. They feel like i have gas, but i try to fart and nothing. I sat on the toilet for a good five minutes and nothing came out. I dk if i ate something bad or something since I'm starting to get chills even though I'm bundled up. I'm 40w 4d. I have a feelin its gas since i can hear my tummy rumbling.

I would not compare it to gas pain at all... I would much rather have gas pain then contraction. It's excruciating. I'm not even gonna sugar coat it.

Alot of lower back pain,alot of tightness in my belly, cramp like pain in my lower abdomen. What exactly do contractions feel like...do you feel them in your lower abdomen or is it in your vagina? Sorry I just have been getting my hopes up everytime I feel something differnt. I'm just ready to have my baby boy. Thanks in advance!

Contractions feel like very bad period cramps. As for me tho I never had period cramps so the doc explained it like a really bad upset stomach I have to poop feeling.

Do they feel like bad period cramps or really bad gas passing or something completely different?

I have back contractions/back labor.. and I wouldn't wish that on the devil. Its horrible. To make it even worse it was on one side. When I'd take a step on with that foot it just felt like life was over for me. It's painful. On the other hand I've never had stomach contraction ive felt when my baby moves to the front of my stomach I can feel her back its very uncomfortable. Is that the same?

It's the worst pain ever!!!

Braxton hicks aren't usually painful though they can be the bigger you get. Contractions apparently feel like period pains, I've never experienced them so for me they feel like I need to go number 2 due to the immense pressure your bottom. Or horrible never ending gas pains lol buy that's just me.

Can somebody tell me what contractions feel like I keep getting pains in my upper stomach but I'm not sure if it's Contractions or not

So I'm feeling a little sheepish asking this question, but this is my first pregnancy and the only time I've ever seen labor or a woman having contractions is on TV, which I would guess is not like the real thing. So how do you know when you're in labor? What does a contraction feel like, and how do you recognize it? Just curious, and wondering how I'll know when the time comes.

Ive had my stomach tighten, then untighten without any pain. I had really really bad pain, felt like bad menstrual cramps and gas that would intensify for a bit then go down and i was on a monitor and the nurse said i was having contractions....but there wasnt a definite low, like the pain was always there just kicked up at times so it was hard to time....it just hurt the whole time.

When I had contractions with my daughter, they felt like gas pains and constipation and the pain was unbearable before I realized what they were and timed them. My Braxton Hicks contractions that I have been feeling since last night feel more like the pressure you are talking about. I know contractions are different for everyone, so it could be the real thing for you, but I don't know. Good luck!

you know how when you have to go #2 really bad or you have horrible gas pains? Well they feel like the worst gas bubble pain you ever had in your life and you just CANT fart and make yourself feel better. Also i dont know about a cervix check starting labor but I went into labor the day after my Dr stripped my membranes!

Can they feel like bad gas pains? I'm a second time mom, but never felt contractions with my first. I've got this pain that feels like I have bad gas, but it won't break down (fart), but it will get more intense every couple minutes or so. Nothing I'm concerned or paniced about, just curious to if this could be what contractions feel like. I'm 35wks today.

Do contractions feel like bad menstral cramps ?

My contractions felt like really bad gas pains with my second. Now, with my third, my BH feel the same way.

at this point 22weeks baby should be stretched out so u may feel him/her all over now. Braxton hicks feels like a strong tightening feeling, almost like a muscle spasm but nit exactly..ur stomach gets hard then will release. This is how contractions also feel but much much stronger and painful. Braxton hicks r very uncomfortable, but most can probably handle them unless u have 0 pain tolerance, which some do. If it becomes to intense I would go to e.r. or dr for precautionary check....

For the women that gave birth already what does contractions feel like? Some people say it hurts like bad menstrual cramps but I never had menstrual cramps. Is there something else to compare it to so I'm prepared?

How can a contraction feel like? I know its different for everybody and the pain I have been having I am not all to sure that is what it is. Has anyone ever had a contraction feel more like a low stabbing sharp pain following a low back pain. Im not feeling much tightness. And also whrn you are having a contraction does the baby tend to move during it? Please let me know!

I'm almost 36 weeks and I feel like crap! Anyone else the same week as me feel like this?

Sounds like gas pain to me. Whenever I get gas pains while pregnant it's up higher (near my belly button) and feels like a sharp stabbing pain. Warm baths and kneeling on all fours can help alleviate some of the pain. Contractions don't come on so suddenly or painfully. They're more of a dull ache like period cramps.

So I'm 41 weeks and I feel like I'm starting my period. Just really terrible cramps. I've heard that's what contractions feel like. I also feel like i have to poop, like i have gas pains but i cant go. I've felt awful all day and have really bad back pain as well. I don't know what to think!
