Contraction or not?

I was sitting down when my lower abdomen started cramping. I got up and started walking around but it didn't go a way instantly. After it finally did go away I noticed my stomach was really hard.

Is that a contraction?

Sounds like one to me

Could be BH, they can hurt. Have you had more, can you time them?

i noticed that when i sit down like in a chair i will start cramping because im putting alot of pressure on my stomach. If i stand up it goes away. But my contractions feel almost identical.

Quoting Clk:" Could be BH, they can hurt. Have you had more, can you time them?"

No, just that once.
I am however already dilated at 3 as of Monday.
