Contractions
Posted: 08-22-06 11:31am

Do braxtion hicks contractions feel like period cramps? The past few days i've been getting this period like feeling and i'm not sure if I should worry or if what i'm experiencing are braxtion hicks contractions. They come on maybe once an hour or so and it only lasts like 5-10 seconds each time.

Just slight, kinda like how it feels when you're going to get ready to start your period.
