My period cramps don't even compare to contractions and I had horrible period cramps lol! I had a quick labor though so I had some really intense contractions. I felt like I was about to die

I have had bad periods worse than this, but if I am in labor, it is an early stage. I will let you know how bad it is when I'm done :p

Yeah I've never had them before. This is my first baby! I'm 25 weeks and 2 days and I'm so excited to meet my baby but every day I'm getting more scarred of giving birth. I used to get horrible cramps during my period. One time I almost passed out so contractions don't sound so fun :( I'm terrified. Hahaa. But thank you for the explanation!

That is not a stupid question at all! If you have never had contractions, it can be quite confusing. It feels like tightening and menstrual cramps at the same time. They get worse and worse, and they come and go in waves. I feel it from my belly all the way down, and kind of in my back, too. Doesn't really hurt on the sides, though.

Okay, so I fell asleep still having contractions at the same pain level and length.  Now I'm wide awake with much stronger ones, and they are closer together! Timing them now, and may go to the hospital very soon.

How far along are you! I was in denial when I was in labor because I was only 37 weeks and 4 days

I have been getting a lot of false labor. I'd have contractions every few minutes,  but it would go away after 30 minutes. This has been going on for like an hour now.
