Avatar f tn I'm almost 36 weeks and I feel like crap! Anyone else the same week as me feel like this?
8622136 tn?1399000554 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?
338830 tn?1229999478 I was wondering what contractions feel like. For the past two days I have been having these menstrual crampy feelings. They seem to come and go. Like lastnight I was on the couch and they kept coming and going. The ones lastnight were accompanied by a very bad backache. UGH. Do contractions feel similar to menstrual cramps? If not what would you describe them as feeling like. I was just wondering bc if these are contractions, I shouldn't be having them as I am only 26 weeks. Thanks.

368785 tn?1270432283 m 35 weeks with my first child, and I was wondering if any moms out there could tell me what contractions feel like. While I was loading the dishwasher today, I started to feel a sharp pain behind/to the left of my bellybutton. When I put my hand on my stomach it felt a lot harder than it usually does, but it only lasted for a few seconds. This happened three times for less than ten seconds within a ten minute period.

7249862 tn?1392252689 For you already mommies, what did it feel like when you started having your contractions? Were you sure you were in labor or not?
Avatar f tn t had any bleeding or anything like that. I was just wondering what to look out for. Can anyone describe what contractions actually feel like and how to differentiate between other aches and pains?
Avatar f tn I feel like my vagina is opening. Its like it keeps tightening and loosing . It might be false contractions it doesnt hurt but looks like my tummy dropped also. Im almost 31 weeks pregnant. Any advice ?
Avatar f tn Braxton hicks feels like a tightening sensation they are irregular and uncomfortable but not painful. Labor contractions are painful and come at regular intervals feel like bad menstrual cramps neither sound like the shock you are having that reminds me of round ligament pain that I would have when I would stand up or move the wrong way...
Avatar f tn Contractions feel like cramps that get worse n worse. U can feel them bc they tightened up for seconds to minutes then release. Then do it all over again. If u put ur hand on the top of ur belly which is ur uterus u can feel them tight n release. Braxton hicks will go away if u lay on ur side, take a shower, or things like that. They dont get stronger n stronger. So hope this helps.
Avatar f tn Most people say contractions feel like period cramps, but I have to disagree. I think they feel more like cramps you get when you are trying to hold in your poop until you find a bathroom, just more intense. I think too many people focus on timing contractions. Until they begin to make you cringe and hold your breathe, there is no need to time them and can put a lot of unneeded pressure on the mother.
Avatar f tn Some women describe contractions as strong menstrual cramps. Unlike false labor contractions or Braxton Hicks contractions, true labor contractions do not stop when you change your position or relax. Although the contractions may be uncomfortable, you will be able to relax in between contractions. What's the Difference Between True Labor and False Labor? Before "true" labor begins, you may have "false" labor pains, also known as Braxton Hicks contractions.
