Hi i was just wondering if what does contractions feel like? im only 20 weeks and i head of premature labor accures. im concerned because ever since like 18 weeks its gotten more and more increaseingly that inside my vagina i feel like...the only way i can describe it is air bubbles going up around my cervix and i know theres no air bubbles, it almost feels like air bubbles around the surface of my cervix and goes up to the womb. It doesnt hurt but its annoying and worrying me. I was wondering if anyone else have experienced it? Im calling my doctor about it.

Not in all cases. Contractions (true ones) are generally painful and it feels like your entire stomach gets hard everywhere. You can experience BH contractions as well and those don't hurt. They kinda feel like a Charlie horse, but in your stomach. I had contractions with my pregnancy though and I didn't know that's what they were (mine were BH) and when I was in labour, I had contractions in the front that hardly hurt.

ive never experienced what you describe but contractions feel a lot like period cramps.. you'll feel a portion of your belly harden like a rock. more than 5 contractions in an hour warrant a call to your OB. my BH contractions started at 19 weeks and i was admitted at 34 weeks overnight for preterm contractions that were every 2-3 minutes apart.
