What does Contractions Feel Like?
what does contractions feel like? I'm 21wks and been seeing others talk about it just kinda scared. First time mommy to be lol
I would not compare it to gas pain at all... I would much rather have gas pain then contraction. It's excruciating. I'm not even gonna sugar coat it.
You don't need to be. They hurt but it's pain with a purpose. It comes and goes and isn't constant. It's very manageable.
Mine didn't feel that bad when they first started. It was like period cramps mixed with indigestion/diarrhea cramps. It would get stronger and then fade away to no pain. Once my water broke they got really painful
Mine just felt like the worst menstraul cramps ive ever had in my life :D not very fun
I felt like it was a vise grip twisting down from the top of my abdomen to the pelvic area. It is cyclic as well. it does start in such a way that it is bearable and then becomes painful, I must say. good luck hon
When you have a contraction it's very sharp severe pain in your lower stomach. You can't lay down or sit down either when you begin to have them. I couldn't stop moving because the pain was so bad.
