"For me, labor felt like increasingly bad period cramps. I remember being so clueless as to what a contraction would feel like, and then when they started I was like, 'Oh hey, I've been preparing for this my whole life!' Granted, they eventually reach a level of pain that is much much higher than a period. But it really does feel similar, especially when it's first starting out." — Ashley A., Nebraska
