How To Name Your Contraction
Firstly, you need to put your hand on your belly during a contraction and compare the feeling of the contracting uterus. To tell if your contractions are strong enough to be opening your cervix, you should compare its strength with the feeling of the tip of your nose, your chin or your forehead.
The comparison goes like this:
If it feels like your nose, it's a soft or relatively weak contraction relative to early labor and is probably not doing much to open your cervix.
If it feels like your chin then it's of medium strength.
If it feels like your forehead, your contractions are very strong and productive. When they feel like this, you are making progress!
