Contractions

[babygirl276]

Okay this may have an obvious answer but what do contractions feel like? Last night I was in labor& delivery for four hours hooked up to the monitors and was having contractions but all I was feeling was a dull back pain I wasn't feeling any of the contractions so I'm not sure how I am supposed to know when I am having them or not my stomach its pretty tight already.

They can start in your back many ladies have horrible back labour. When u get real conteactions you.will know. They feel like period cramps and get more intense as time goes on. A good indication is also if u start feeling it in your lower back. Once your in labour you will just know. Its much different then braxton hicks and u should always time them as well.

I went nd got hooked up at 33 weeks and it said j was having contractions every 2 mins but I didn't feel a think. My midwife said they r jus Braxton hicks and u will kno wen ur in labor. Now I'm 37+4 nd def gettin stronger but not unbearable. Good luck:)

I went to labor and delivery not too long ago and I was having contractions felt like period cramps, the nurse said if you hook up any pregnant chick that's real far along, that contractions will show up on the monitor and they most likely wouldn't have realized it. But when it's labor contractions, you'll know. Those bit.ches hurt!
