It doesnt feel like cramps, but it is where cramps would be at. I can feel my stomach tightening.. but its not hurting bad. Im four days past due and 3cm dilated and 100% effaced. What do you think?

it's hard to say, b/c everyone experiences it differently, BUT if it does become more painful and it gets worse and you notice a pattern, then it may very well be contractions!
from my own experience.......i was in labor all day, didn't know it, i had period cramps all day and as the day went on, it got worse and worse, and they started to come closer and closer, every 5 minutes, and i finally called the dr. and she said to go to the hospital to see if my water broke, and sure enough, by the time i got to the hospital i was definately in labor, the pain was worse and my water did break!!
i also noticed that i lost the mucus plug a day earlier too, it was streaked with red, and i read somewhere that if you see that, then you will go into labor within the next 2 days (some believe this is true, and some don't, it was true for me!), so if you noticed that, then you just may be in labor!! good luck!

When I was pregnant and went into labor it took a very long time before it started hurting very badly. About 10 hours. They could be Braxton Hicks contractions. That means it's not true labor it's just like a practice run!

Probably still just Braxton-Hicks contractions (practice contractions)
You will feel it inside, up up inside, in a muscle you never before knew you had, when it's real labor contractions. But some women are lucky enough to not even feel contractions until they push their babies out ! (if only it were so easy for all of us!!!!)

All pregnancies are different, you may be contracting,you may be just streching. If you really feel it could be time,drink water, walk around,find something to clean,maybe even lye down awhile, becuase if you are doing to much that too can cause funny feelings. You never know until you start peeing on yourself!! tha's the final YES WE ARE READY !!!!!!! Good Luck !
