Labor?
When labor first started for you, did it just feel like menstrual cramps or did your whole belly tighten too like Braxton Hicks?

It felt like menstrual cramps
You can have pronominal labor for weeks. Braxton hicks are common too. You aren’t actually in labor until contracts are consistently apart

They felt like period cramps to me. Like the cramps that make you want to curl up into a ball for a bit. My labor progressed very fast after the first little contractions into full blown contractions.
