I'm due my second baby in the next few weeks. With my first, my waters starting leaking a little, midwife came to examine me and gave me an examination/sweep, started with backache then proper contractions started an hour or so later. My son was born about 6 hours later, with a very quick active stage/delivery.
I was told they'd feel like period pains but it didn't feel like that at all to me. I was expecting it around the actual bump, but all the pain seemed to be in my lower stomach/pelvic area.
Ive recently been told by several people that contractions feel differently to your first. Is this true? What was your experience?
I know every pregnancy/birth is different but as I had a quick first birth, I'm anxious this time around and have been looking out for any signs similar to last time.
Did your contractions feel differently for second labour?
