When I had my dd all my contractions were in my back after being induced four times in a row. All I remember is feeling like my back was breaking in half every three mins or so then ended up with an EMCS.
This time round I have realised I don't really know what to expect if I go into spontaneous labour. I know what BH feels like and sort of assumed it would be like that.
I am 40 + 4 and keep getting this really sharp intense pain that takes my breath away deep in cervix area. It feels like twisting/stretching and it does have a peak and then goes away again. It lasts for approx 30-40 secs and is happening every eight mins or so. It went on for hours the other night and I called labour ward who told me to stay at home. They went away. Since then I have had three bloody shows. Now the pain has started again. Every eight mins.
I have a nagging back ache constantly and sometimes during the pain my back hurts a bit but no 'tightenings'. It's all really localized. Baby is OP apparently.
Any advice?

Anyone's contractions feel like this? Bit confused.

Yes I think they do feel different for everyone. I find it hard to describe mine, it was sort of pain in all of lower bump, like the worst period pain ever, plus lower back pain. I also lost more plug with each contraction. I reckon this could be it for you!
