I'm 37 weeks tomorrow and I know that statistically I'll be overdue as this is my first but I've been having BH for a few days now (finally) and I'm now starting to wonder how everyone else's 'proper' contractions started. I've got a lot of similar stories from family members but my mum is no good asking as she had very short labours and wasn't really aware of them due to other complications and tbh I don't really believe half the stuff she comes out with anyway (warped version of things and a history of lying etc) and step mum had 3 CS so again not much help there.
I also know from another family friend that it's possible to not feel them as she had no pains at all so I'm very confused as to the range of pain and frequency.
So could I ask for your stories? I don't want to be left thinking 'what if' when the time comes and would much rather know the possible ways of experiencing them etc if that makes sense?
