Contractions

What do your first real contractions feel like? Do they start before or after your water breaks?

I have had stages of diarrhea then constipation through out pregnancy. It's quite normal to have boughts of both. Just try to stay hydrated & take your vitamins. It should get better before to long.

Did they ever occur with diahrreha? I've been having times that my stomach hurts pretty bad that I thought was just indegestion and have diahrreha when it starts to ease up, but the more I think about it I'm not sure what it is.

They can start before or after. They feel like really bad period cramps that grow stronger & stronger & closer together while your belly tightens. You may feel them in your back & upper part of your legs too.
