Anyone else wonder if every ache, cramp is going to be the real thing?

Lately, every ache, cramp, gas pain, etc I wonder if it is the REAL thing.  I guess I will know when it comes, I just wish I knew when it was comming!

I did when I was PG the 1st time around - but once I was REALLY in labor, I realized how stupid I was to think that.

This time around i know better I've been having contrax for 3 days straight, but I just brush them off since they are manageable. You WILL know it when it's real.?

Just want to clarify - I am NOT calling anyone stupid. Just myself

I do! Everytime I feel the slightest tinge of gas pain or a cramp I wonder if it's the start of labor or if my stomach is getting ready to empty itself for the start of labor. It's sad lol but I do it too!

This is my second pregnancy and I still wonder if it getting ready to start.  You will know when you are in labor.

but HOW will you know?? i know that seems stupid - but i have been wondering... i dont know what contractions feel like....

how do you know when to start timing?  i think i have been getting some BH contractions more often than normal, but nothing painful at the moment.
