how does it feel...

i just want to ask everyone what contractions feel like... BH and real ones... where u feel them or felt them. This is my first baby and i am in my eighth month and i know i will have to know what exactly i am looking for...(my moms friend went into labor last week and didnt even know it.She was at the doc for an appt and they were like uhhh do u know u are in labor.. and she told them she just figured it was the kids (shes having twins)playing rough in there)I know everyone is unique blah blah and what one might feel may be different from what i may feel but i also know some are the same...so maybe what someone else felt might be similar to what i have or will feel... thanks ladies...

Mine felt like realllly bad period cramps, that started not too bad, and got worse, then decreased. I didn't feel any until I was in active labor though..

My braxton hicks were not painful or regular, my belly got really hard and weird feeling.  Real labor contractions were a little more uncomfortable at least to start.  But you could time them regular, they started in at 10 min apart and gradually got sooner.

I never got BH and Ionlyfelt threecontractionsbefore I was in active labor, at which point I KNEW I was in labor. haha They were stacked right on top of each other and I could hardly breathe. I don't even remember what it felt like because I was so focused on my breathing!

hmmm ok because everyone i know that are as far along as i am have felt BH contractions.. and i think now i may have.. i just always thought it was tyler pushing out... but may have been BH
