Contractions

What do they feel like? Is it a tightening feeling? I can feel my stomach tightening, well I think it's my uterus, but anyway it's towards the top of my stomach baby My rib cage. It doesn't hurt, but it is extremely uncomfortable and it happens every few minutes or so. Also I've been feeling a lot of pressure down low..

Could be the start of early labor! They're probably Braxton hicks but if they're frequent and don't stop if you walk around, lay down or drink water id keep watch and maybe call your doctor (:
