Contractions?!

[Tosha5847]

what do contractions feel like? I've been told several different things.I'm 35 weeks & 6 days. the doctors have hooked me up different times but it's like I'm missing the felon of them when the paper would show that I'm having them. is hard too tell with all the uncomfortable passin I've been in lately.

Im not going to lie they hurt alot not trying to scare u. I had my fitst with no meds or anything and i was in alot of pain but was worth it.

I'm 36w & 2 days. My ob says that contractions feel like intense menstrual cramps and the top of your belly will feel really tight. You might also have pain in your back, sides of your belly, and down into your thighs. At 35 weeks I was already dilated 1cm and had no idea. I had felt some stabbing pains in my cervix but my ob says that may be the aftermath of the contractions and I didn't feel the actual contraction itself. It'll hurt more when you get to 5-6 cms. Yay!
