Contractions?
Hi I am 18 and 36weeks pregnant, im scared because idk what contractions or labor feels like...how will I know ??sometimes my upper thighs cramp up bad, and I can feel pressure between my legs...is this a sign.i also have tummy aches at times . HELP
Try not to worry. Contractions feel like period pains but they start off mild, gradually get stronger and then fade away again. The more contractions you get, the stronger they become. Also if you place your hand on your tummy you can usually feel it harden during a contraction. Trust me when I say you will know when it starts. Im on pregnancy number 5.
