Contractions??? Or BH???

I have been having some 'annoying' feelings, not really painful but uncomfortable.
Sometimes they start in my back and sometimes not.... With my first, DS4 I had back labor and dont really know what a contraction 'in the front' feels like.
So most of the feelings are kind of a burning feeling.....????
Almost like a cramp from running, one that has a burning feeling.
Any advice or anyone feel this before?

Ok this s*cks!
The 'burning' feeling is back... I really think they are just BH, I guess there is a small chance they are the start of something but they are REALLY annoying me!!!
It bothers me that I can explain what they really feel like. GRRRRR
I hope they are the start of something because they really so s*ck!

I had the opposite problem wtih the monitors...I was FEELING my BH more so than they would register on the TOCO monitor.  I guess I just have a cranky uterus LOL

I hate to say this, LOL! But you'll know when they're the real deal. I couldn't feel my BH with my firstborn but when those real contractions came I KNEW they were different. I felt so incredibly off and could barely walk.

Well, they stopped. I guess they were just really 'good' BH. Maybe I'll go into labor tonight!!!
LosingMyMind, I have a hard time with feeling my uterus... I know that sounds funny but this is why, when Im stand my WHOLE belly is rock hard but when Im sitting or lying down, because Im so much smaller then I was with DS my whole belly is soft, you can tell that I have 'extra' skin (it actually really nasty), I do know though that when I was hooked up to a monitor I was having stronger BH but even then I couldnt tell if my uterus was hard...But that was about 2 weeks ago.

is your entire uterus getting hard when you feel it? if so it's a contraction

Yeah but each labor is different. To be on the safe side maybe you should go to L&D and just get checked out to make sure.

Yeah, but I would say that it feels like a "have to go to the bathroom" cramp or even a menstrual cramp.
Im confused because with my son it really did just start as a strange feeling then get a while lot worse, it was all in my back I dont remember feeling anything in my tummy....

Sounds like it could be a contraction. Does it start in the back and then kinda wrap around?
