Your stomach tightens and you feel like you desperatly need a wee! I feel a bit faint with them to but dont know if everyone does. I have an irritable uterus so get them alot. Real contractions are tightenings with pain that gets gradually worse then dissipates. Then nothing for a few minutes then same again kind of like waves. Im having a false one as I write this lol its just like your stomach hardening

Yes and real labor contraction to some women can feel like extreme menstrual cramps that are consistent in time and gets stronger

It will be your whole belly. Your experiencing braxton hicks

I sometimes feel like tighting under my belly or feel like i have to fart? Is that contractions?

You feel a lot of tightening of the stomach a long with pain. Pain varies per person but when your in active labor they will come every 5mins or less and last about a min long. Pain and pressure in the bottom area will increase with time as baby lowers
