It depends on your pain tolerance.  My contractions feel like Braxton hicks,  tight, pressure on my bladder, sometimes hard to catch my breath, until my water breaks. That's when they start getting more and more painful for me. It feels like the worst diarrhea/period pains u have ever had times like 100. But that's just for me. I try to wait as long as I can before asking for an epidural but had one 3 times. So with this last one, I'm asking early lol

I'm wondering about this same question. Because when I got the sciatica nerve pain I was twitching on the floor, from pain, I looked demon possessed lol. 8 hrs in pain and someone said in the hospital oh your feeling a taste of those contractions!! I'm like huh! Then that means I can go natural?? I hope the expert moms answer your post.. I would like to get an idea as well..

BH contractions are not so painful and real contractions last longer for about a minute to a minute and a half and the pain is more severe
