May be a stupid question, so I apologise in advance.

In your second (or third or whatever!) labour, did the contractions feel the same as the first labour?

I didn't have any period type pain for my first labour experience, just the headbutting bladder feeling, and then just well... pain... lol....

So I'm wondering - will I get that type of pain again, or could I get period type pain? Is it the same for each labour? I'm just asking because for some stupid (irrational) reason, I've always thought that I would go early this pregnancy (had 28 weeks in my head) and last night I was getting some tightenings and some period cramps that were coming and going for a few hours. So of course because of my irrational thinking - I was a bit freaked out!

So I'm sorta wanting to know if I will get the headbutting bladder type pain for contractions or period type pain... does your body follow the same type of pain it did the first time round?
