It depends on the woman, and the stage of labor. In my case they felt similar to that aching feeling you get when you smash a finger or toe, but in my abdomen and very extreme. Others say it feels like bad menstrual cramps.

Contractions grow in intensity and frequency. They will feel like hard menstrual cramps to begin with. It is important to have any repetitive pains checked by the doctor to make sure everything is okay.
