A contraction is a shortened form of a word (or group of words) that omits certain letters or sounds. In most contractions, an apostrophe represents the missing letters. The most common contractions are made up of verbs, auxiliaries, or modals attached to other words: He would=He'd. I have=I've. They are=They're.
Early labor contractions may feel as if you have an upset stomach or trouble with your digestive system. You may feel them like a tidal wave because they increase and finally subside gradually. Some women feel intense cramps that increase in intensity and stop after they deliver.

won't
When we say won't, we are actually saying will not. The form with the apostrophe is a contraction, like “don't” and “can't.” We owe the “o” in won't to a sixteenth-century form of the word: wonnot.
won't. / (wəʊnt) / contraction of. will not.
Labor contractions cause discomfort or a dull ache in your back and lower abdomen, along with pressure in the pelvis. Some women might also feel pain in their sides and thighs. Some women describe contractions as strong menstrual cramps, while others describe them as strong waves that feel like diarrhea cramps.
The contractions of these muscles pull on the cervix and help to open it and put pressure on the baby, helping the baby move downward. Pressure from the baby's head against the cervix during contractions also helps to thin and open the cervix.
If your entire uterus is hard during the cramping, it's probably a contraction. If it's hard in one place and soft in others, those are likely not contractions—it may just be the baby moving around.
