Those would be Braxton Hicks contractions. :) my labor was the period cramps, times a million bajillion trillion. The epidural worked wonders for me.

Awww, just keep an eye on them. If they go away then it's fake labor but if it last more than an hour call the doctor cause you might be ready! :) I pray you have an easy birth and delivery and you both are healthy. :)

Thanks for the info &advice. And i have had the tightness feeling&the hard stomach

I also went to the hospital 5 times because I thought I was in labor. It was fake labor which feels like a tight feeling and your stomach gets hard. Just keep an eye on them if they happen write down the time and how long they last. And if they are 5 minutes or less apart call your doctor

Hey, I believe everyone experiences a different pain. My experience was lots of pressure in my back side. It was like a watermelon was trying to come out of my backside. It's something you really can't explain because it's nothing you felt before. Some say it feels like your worse cramp times 100000000 lol. That doesn't help. Some experience little pain and some experience pain that can't be put in words. I had to get 3 epidurals because they didn't work for me. I stopped getting it changed because they didn't help me. For some it works great. You don't know how strong you are until you go through this. I was suprised at myself it was a long 42 hours and I almost gave up at 40 hours but my doctor said let's do this and 2 hours of pushing she was born. :) I was also induced which make the contractions worse. My advice walk a lot and try to avoid induction.
