Re: What do contractions feel like?
I SO hope you are having what you think are contractions right now! I can't wait to meet Olivia! To me, they feel like someone putting their hand on your uterus and squeezing. It's like a very localized tightening at the bottom of your belly. It doesn't really feel like cramps (to me) it really feels tight. Since you are so skinny you will probably be able to feel them from the outside too. Like, if you lay on your back, you uterus will feel hard at the bottom of your belly, and almost smaller, like the sides are coming in towards each other. It's hard to explain, obviously!! They are pretty obvious though...it's just one of those thing that you know when have one. They are a very different feeling. The beginning pain level is that of cramps though...nothing you can't stand. I hope you are having some!!!!
