What do cramps before you get your period feel like?

Answer 1

It depends. Mild ones kind of feel like you're having bad gass. However, I've also had them as bad as feeling like someone was knifing you right in the gut with sharp pains.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, there is really no way to answer this question. It varies from person to person and even from period to period! At one time I hardly ever had cramps, then for a while I had horrible ones that felt like my stomach was being punched. Lately, they've been feeling more like a back ache. Sorry I can't be more help, but you never can really tell. If you have regular periods, you can predict them though if you start keeping track of them on a calendar. Mark the last day of your period and count 28 days forward.. that's when the next one should start.

Answer 3

Personally, my cramps begin only after I've started my period on the first day. They last for two days usually.I experience it as regular sharp waves of pain in a downward direction.In between the pains there is a constant ache in the lower abdomen. I take aspirin which helps a bit but not entirely.A hot bath gives temporary relief too.

Answer 4

Well for me its more like an ICKY feeling..kinda feels like you have to...poo...and you just want to curl up in a ball and cry. Sometimes cramps can be SO severe that you start to have breathing problems while having them and some people pass out from them.
FOr me sometimes I stop breathing...cramps are horrible.

Answer 5

I found that it felt sometimes like someone was hitting me in that area with a fist because of the uterine muscle contracting to try and move the blood flow out.

Answer 6

feels like you been kicked in the tummy. laying in a fetal position is the best way to ease the pain.
