With DD, I never had Braxton hicks nor did I ever feel labor (i was induced but had a c section before I ever felt any pains).
I actually had Braxton hicks with this one. Not continually. I had weeks where I had them more often and weeks I didn't have them. The only time I had them frequently was at the end of June when it turned out I was really dehydrated and was very upset over an accident with our cat.
I've been having a lot of Braxton hicks over the last few days. Not as much today, but still enough.
Over the last few hours they seem to feel more like dull period pains coming an going on occasion (also feeling like I have to go to the bathroom - which I know I do, but the feeling passes before I find the opportunity to go).
I'm guessing it's just Braxton hicks even though they seem a little different as my Braxton hicks have been more like tightening much higher up.
But it got me thinking that I have absolutely no idea what labor pains will feel like, especially in comparison to Braxton hicks.
Can anyone describe them? Will I just automatically know? Are the differences very obvious?
