Did you know you were dialating?

I'm just curious for those already moms who dialated naturally at home, before they went to the hospital. Did you feel it? I read some stories about women going in and they are already like a 7 and were hardly having contractions. Did you realize that was happening or did everything feel pretty much the same? Sorry if that sounds dumb lol.

Good to know! I just wasn't sure if you would feel yourself that dialated. Especially for ftm who can get BH, cramping, and real contractions mixed up sometimes. Thank you all :)

Especially being a FTM, you dont know if what you are having is light contractions or just normal aches and pains. But, its not like you can feel it opening when slowly dialating.

I always thought you would know or there would be some kind of pain associated with it
