How did you feel right before labor?

Question

How did you feel before labor began? I hear some women feel nauseous and some get really tired... What did you feel???

Answer 1

I felt pain both times.  The closer it gets to pushing the more pain you feel.  Good luck you will know when it is time

Answer 2

i had like mild period pain, from 11pm to 11pm the next day. than at 11 i started to feel dizzy and trembling as if i was feeling really cold - which  i  wasn't, of course. i went to hospital because i thought that my blood pressure had dropped, but they found be dilated and was induced on drip. baby came 6 hours later. i don't know if the trembling was because i was frightened!lol or something which had to do with labour. good luck

Answer 3

The day that my water broke I was very irritable and more uncomfortable than usual.  I had had two nights with mild contractions previous to this.  My mucus plug came out about 11:30pm, my water broke around 3:45am right after I had awoke, and baby was here 4:15pm later that day.

Answer 4

Two days before I had a big burst of energy and was "nesting".  After that I crashed hard for two days and had terrible nerve pain and spent the weekend on the couch.  I went into labor Sunday evening.

Answer 5

I felt normal - the same amount of tired as I had been for the previous 2 months :-)

I had not had any contractions of any type (or at least, I did not feel any), and the day before I had absolutely no progress (no dilation or effacement). My water broke seemingly out of nowhere on my due date :-)

Answer 6

With my first son, I felt absolutely fine, the night I went into labor with him I was video taping him moving like crazy in my stomach, so I wasn't expecting the whole labor thing...they say the baby stays still before you go into labor...not mine!  I woke up at 2am, and had to pee, I remember thinking to myself...I am not getting up again I'll hold it, and then I felt a squirt, so I thought I peed myself, got up and my water broke!  

Answer 7

It was 11:00 p.m. and I was asleep.  I woke up to go to the bathroom and my water broke.  Soon the contractions started. 2 1/2 hours later my beautiful baby girl was born.

Answer 8

No different that usual. I went to work during the day. (planned it to be my last day and was expecting to a few days off to myself before the baby would be born) Went to bed at midnight and woke up at 4:15am, because I felt a pop which meant my water had broken. I rushed to the toilet, so the bed and floor stayed dry :)

Answer 9

i didn't feel anything... i was sitting down witht he fam watching a movie one night then all of a sudden contractions started comming... but b4 the contractions nothing

Answer 10

i didnt feel anything..maybe because i was really active doing activities every day. i even drove myself to the hospital and made my husband sit in the passenger seat on my due date while i was at 4 cm. didnt even feel a contraction..but that's just me and usually not the case.

Answer 11

Like I couldn't find a comfortable way to sit anywhere - not on a couch, a chair, the floor... no matter what I tried I felt uncomfortable, then the vomiting started. I dont remember being tired but I was concentrating a lot on slow breathing as much as I could.

Answer 12

I was soooo cold!! Chills, but nothing about nauseous.  But I probably was nervous.

Answer 13

Before labor began I felt very nervous. It felt unreal to me that the baby that I've carrying for 9 months is now going to be with my husband and I. I was so nervous but other than that when the contractions kicked in it was dreadfully painful! I went all natural so it was pretty bad.

Answer 14

i was so tired to the point i was falling asleep in the labor and delivery room. I was falling asleep while the lady was doing my epidural. I think its because my contractions came late at night and they took forever to move me it was about . Uh i have no clue! i was so drugged up and all i remember was my fiance there in the C-Section room, lol. Sorry. But i was sleepy and nervous but ready.
