Contractions?

I keep getting this tightening sensation in my tummy along with period like cramps and its so uncomfortable it causes me to close my eyes and it feels as if all my energy is being drained. Does that sound like a legit contraction? They haven't been consistent enough to time but I'm hoping if they're real I'll be able to time them soon!

    Time will tell.  I would suggest getting some rest right now if you can!

    How far along are you?  

    My BH got more painful around 30ish weeks or so and started feeling more like period cramps in addition to the abdominal tightening.  Only in the last couple of weeks have they started to feel more like what I'm guessing regular contractions will feel like, with the radiating back pain and spreading abdominal pain.  If they're not the real thing, they could at least be an indication of what to look for when they do start.  If they're not timeable, I wouldn't worry yet.  But definitely do as PP suggested and get some rest now!
