Contractions

When you are having contractions and you place your hand on your belly if it is a true contraction and not Braxton hicks do you feel anything. With your hand other then hardening? Like wave like movements or anything

Oh I see! Lol by the time I knew I was having real contractions it hurt to much for me to even think about feeling my stomach, I could barely even walk around

I meant other then pain haha. They are def painful. I'm not sure if it's just baby moving or Braxton hicks or actual contractions. I feel like an idiot but I didn't know I was in labor with my first or second and I didn't know I was contracting with my third. -_-

When i was having contractions i didn't feel tightening at all! But then again I was in way too much pain to even try to feel lol. If you feel more tightening than pain then I would say it's Braxton Hicks most likely because I had those a lot before I went into labor
