What the F**k

Do contractions feel like? I know every woman is different, and alota women say u will know when it happens..but readin these posts makes it seem like alota women have really dnt know, sometimes until the hospital confirms they're in labor. I'm a ftm, almost 38 wks.. need ur experience ladies.
Btw I'm 2cm dilated n 50% effaced as of last week

Nah they aren't frequent or extremely painful. just a sharp pain here n there that goes away. N for me bh feels like my tummy ballin up n gettin really tight and hard. It doesn't hurt but its a lil uncomfortable sometimes.

Once i could feel them consistently it feel like tightening and my cervix ripping open. I was induced though so they were very intense at 3 cm dilated.
