Timing contractions

[bellany]

When timing back labor type contractions do you start counting from when the pain starts in your back or only when your tummy starts going hard?

i have started timing from the time i feel the back...as it usually crescendos quite smoothly and consistently so yeah counted them from the beginning of the niggle back pain...HTH.

As soon as I felt something.
