Thus may sound really silly but I don't know what contractions feel like? I'm 38 weeks & would love someone to describe to me what they feel like!

I never did either but u will feel a TON of pressure and tightening is the best way to explain it and it lasts at least 30-45 seconds and should be every 2-5 mins u will know lol

How about having to poo really really bad but you can't because you're in a car in the middle of nowhere? That's how it was for me. I've never had period cramps either lol

The only problem with that is I've never experienced period pains. It may sound crazy but I never had them!
