How exactly do contractions feel? I had a miscarriage a year ago, and I know I had contractions then.. but I just cant remember exactly what they were like. Where are they located? Will your stomach tighten up like when having Braxton Hicks? I am sure when they happen I will know, but I have just been trying to watch out for little things. I am 33 weeks and 4 days, and today while I was in Wal-Mart and on my way home I have a few sharp pains at the bottom of my stomach on the side.. what could this be? Thanks for the help! :))
