contractions

I'm scared I'm not gonna know the difference between contractions and just pain from stretching muscles. I get pains here and there but that is from the growing. I don't want to go into preterm labor and I'm trying to stay hydrated and I know dehydration can lead to preterm labor. How will I know if I'm in preterm labor?

Usually your back will start to hurt and your stomach will feel really hard. I can't feel my contractions and went into preterm labor and they kept asking me if I felt them because I was being monitored but I couldn't feel them. But if you feel off and really uncomfortable, make sure you go in, safest thing to do. They had to stop my labor.
