I had pain in my lower abdomen. They would come and go. So i decided to time them to make sure it was contractions. They were 10mins apart and last 1min. After sometime i heard a pop sound and the pain became unbearable. They started to become 5mins apart and i started bleeding.
I do believe it is different for everyone, my contractions could barely be felt up until i was 9cm dialated
Yes mine are not extremely painful but they do come often and I just want you know do I wait or go in.
EVERYONE told me u will know your having a contraction when u get one. but thats defiantly not always true. i had no idea i was having contractions until i went to the doctor for it.. i waited it out over night. at first it was just a little pain almost like a weird cramp. then it just got very unbearable and it would last a lot longer and come more often
