Hi Shell
Unfortunately it is very difficult to say what contractions feel like. For some women they start as back pain for others it starts low down under your bump. If your contractions are regular in frequency and length of contraction. For example, all your contractions are about 15 minutes apart and all your contractions last about 30 seconds, then this is probably the real thing and not Braxton hicks. Just be aware that sometimes contractions can start, go on for a few hours, then just stop.
