Contractions

Can somebody please describe the feeling in detail what they feel like. My lower stomach has been tightening up with this uncomfortable feeling. Idk what it could be. But please explain.

MikosMommy i was told blood tinged discharge is losing your mucus plug aka bloody show. I was told even after losing your plug labor can still be a while away but recent stories I have read on here and other sites after losing your plug labor started pretty much days later.

no not true I was able to talk through mine granted they were painful I had all 3 of my kids natural my last child was the hardest but was able to talk i couldn't move i had to squeeze my legs closed cause i had to push my body was doing it on it's own so i had to fight that feeling if your contractions are at 5 mins apart go to L&D get checked

My son is 7week old and you'll know when you're in labour, the pushing part was so easy it took me 30seconds it differs from woman to woman...a contraction is an uncomfortable pain in your lower stomach felt like my whole uterus being twisted and squeezed :p xx

So until we start having those can't talk or walk contractions or our water breaks we shouldn't be concerned as much?

When u can't talk or walk through contractions it's labor I didn't know the diff until I had my son he's 2 now. An this time it's same if u can't talk through the pain it's a real contraction I'd time them then let ur dr know.

My doc says pain plus tightening equals contractions and if they aren't regular and you can still talk through them then they aren't real contractions. I wonder the same thing also being 37+2 weeks. So BUMP Ladies!!!!

But that is what my.doctor told me.
