They're supposed to feel like tightening around your belly button that works their way down. The ones I had when I was getting an NST felt like that but I don't remember the real ones feeling like that. I was also on pitocin though so I don't know if that makes a difference.
With DD1 they felt like severe period cramps, almost like someone was squeezing my whole body and they took my breathe away. With DD2 it was totally different. I started out just feeling achy and then had major pains in my back.
