weeks pregnant, what are contractions?
I don’t think I could explain what a contraction feels like but when you have one you will know. You may be having braxton hicks, that is like a mini contraction so your body will be able to deliver easier. When you have a true contraction your belly will become very hard and it is even visible. I was at a baby shower when she went into labor as I could see her contractions. When they were at 5 min. apart I ask her if she knew and she said it was a little tight all day of and on. She had a baby 6 hours latter. Myself 2 hour 10 min. and I was holding my son. Every delivery is different.
