serious question, help please.

Usually when I have contractions I feel them. But I am wondering, is it possible to have contractions without feeling them?

Ok the other night I was having very bad contractions, in my back and abdomen. When I went to get checked everything came to a stop. But the last couple of days my stomach has been tightening on and off but I don't feel no pain or anything, could them be contractions?

Yep. :) I had most of my early ones like that. I didn't feel painful obvious ones, much more than tightening that I wasn't even sure WAS tightening, until 3cm.

I was in l&d for a night and was having contractions that I wasn't feeling. Just had a little tightness. I probably get them now and don't realize it.

I felt pain until they broke my water. Around 6 7 centimeters but before that I didn't feel anything but belly tightening

if you feel tightening but no pain it's probably just Braxton hicks.
