It feels like the biggest $#it you will ever have in your life, but nothing comes out. Plus, period like cramps that progress to the worst pms you will ever feel. Besides that, it's a breeze (sarcasm)

Yur lower back started hurting & yur stomach will get real hard & it'll feel like the baby is balled up in the botton of yur tummy (at least that's what mine felt like) I had been in the hospital for them at 30 weeks.. They had to be stopped with meds.
