Contractions

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!  :))

Everyones contractions are different. I had my son dec 15 and didnt know i was having contractions until i was in unbearable pain about to push. To me it was a ton of pressure in my pubic area
