I don't get contractions but just get a rising searing pain. I heard someone say that when contractions hit the few seconds in between each contraction are painless.

For me I get the rising urge to breath, but I don't describe it as a 'searing pain', however I do know what you mean. After the onset of the urge the contractions start and rise in strength and come more regularly and more frequently. I only began to recognise them once I'd learnt to relax better. This phase I'd describe as the 'long tail' of the hold, it's no more uncomfortable and the contractions, themselves, don't make it noticeably worse, just different. Perhaps even, they take the edge off of the urge to breathe. There again, may be I haven't stayed in 'long tail' long enough for the contractions to force me to stop.
