mine was like bad period pain that would come and go. i only realised they were labour pains because i started timeing the pains when they were about 8 min apart and realised then as they got shorter that i was in labour. I was really confused because at antenatal classes they did the whole u will know when ur in labour, you will tell it is dif to braxton hicks.
also the day b4 all i could do was stay and sway, if i tried to sit it felt like bubs head was pokin out my bum lol.
