For me, it felt like period cramps. I had been crampy for several days, but kept telling Dr I didn't have contractions. This time I will know better!

Thank you all. Saturday I had really bad back pain and my back was like tensing and tightening up every few minutes for about two hours and then it stopped. Since then I've been crampy, but its just uncomfortable.

Intense Sharp cramping pains!!! Like someone is balling your insides up like a piece of paper then un-balling it just to ball it up again.

I felt nothing, water broke do I went to the hospital because I was only 33 Weeks, they hooked me up to monitors and told me I was having contractions but I never felt it, this went on for 11hrs before I had my baby by c-section. Good luck
