Contractions

What do contractions feel like? And how long do they last? Be specific please…

Answer #1

They feel like severe menstrual cramps and get worse as your labour progresses…the duration depends on how far along you are in labour, but the average is about a minute or two.

Answer #2

If you think you’re having early labor you need to call your doctor, preterm labor is never good, you would be 6 weeks early!! Your baby will be very small. You may just be experiencing braxton hicks though.

Answer #3

For me it was like a huge elastic band tightening around my pelvis. I celebrated thinking, hey, this isn’t too bad.. I can get through these… however, lol Ichi is right, they get gradually worse throughout the labour.
