I have yet to have any contractions, even a Braxton Hicks. However, I think I may have just had my first. Started with a cramp feeling around my belly button, entire stomach got hard, baby girl curled up in a ball really tight and then the pressure began to increase. This happened about 3 times in a row and lasted about a min each time. Real thing or BH?
Re: BH....I think
sounds like BH.
My real contractions start like that, then the discomfort spreads all the way down to my crotch and it starts to feel like a menstrual cramp kind of pain.
BH I would say. Mine are painful...not like real contrx, but painful.
my only real difference btwn real and BH for me are that real ones are timeable, and get stronger as time goes on.
