Im a little over 36 weeks and my baby has dropped. Ive also been experiencing what I think are contractions but not sure as this is my first pregnancy. Can any tell me what contractions feel like? Im afraid im going to go into labor and not know it.

You will DEFINITELY know it mama! They feel like menstrual cramps amplified by about 1,000. You will certainly not mistake active labor i promise! In the beginning they are much milder but they will progressively get stronger and more frequent! Good luck!! I hope that when your labor comes it will go very smoothly for you and baby ♡
