They are totally different for everyone.  Sometimes people say they feel like cramps others have said that they thought they were just having Braxton hicks but when they went into the dr they were havibg contractions every 5 minutes. For me, they started by feeling like an annoying poking pain in my abdomen and then got to feel crampy and just got more intdn.
