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?
Avatar f tn ll know when your getting real contractions!!!
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 This is my first pregnancy so I have absolutely no idea but every time I go to the Dr he asks me if ive been having them. Honestly I have no idea. I don't think I have but I'm not sure. So what exactly do they feel like? What's the difference between Regular and Braxton Hicks?
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 n tn I'm 38 weeks and I'm 1cm dialited and 30% effaced. My doctor said I could go into labor anytime. I'm scared I won't know I'm having contractions. What do they feel like so I know.
Avatar f tn Braxton hicks is what I have now. It's a tightening feeling in your whole stomach that only last for a few seconds.
