contractions.

Okay so I keep hearing that contractions with girls are a lot worse then they are with boys. With my son I had contractions in my back none in the front. But now everyone keeps saying oh girls are a lot worse you feel the contractions all in the front. Is this true or is it just another old wives tale? I'm 32+4 weeks.

Agreed . every pregnancy is different with every women even with each baby you have they will all be so different! My my first girl I had it in the front AND back! Mostly my back though and with my second girl it was all in the front until I walked then it all shifted to the back ugh it was so uncomfortable!

I don't think the sex has anything to do with it. Back labor and front labor depend on your baby's head.
