Gas Pains or Contractions??

So this is my first and I have been having sharp pains on my sides for weeks now.  What do BH feel like and what do real contractions feel like?  I keep blaming it all on gas, but I'm unsure.  These pains stop me in my tracks and sometimes when I push on where the pain is, it'll help a bit but other times, WHOA.  I feel like I should know when it's a contraction but I dont.  Are contrations sharp or are they crampy??

  • if you have to ask, it's not contractions. those are consistent whereas gas is constant.

  • If your belly gets rock hard at the same time it may be contractions.  My mom always compared contractions to gas pains and when I went through it I totally agreed.  Really, really bad gas pains. Like the worst you've ever had.
