Tell me about the days preceding labor?

Question

.

Did you sense that labor was coming? What were your "signs" and when did they happen?

(I was induced with my first, so this is all going to be new to me.)

Answer 1

i didn't scense it. i got up and made my hubby breakfast, he went to work and i went back to bed. i got up later and my water broke. i was certainly ready though. i was early, but my boy was way out there showing the world he was ready.  

Answer 2

I thought id sense labor coming, 2 weeks before i was induced i lost my mucus plug, was slowly leaking amniotic fluid and was feeling pressure of bub moving down... but nothing happened i had to get induced aswell. Im also worried about when i have another baby... what will i do if it happenens at home LOL good luck!

Answer 3

You may not get any signs until it is time. It is typical to get bloody show, contractions, pressure, and a sudden urge to clean. That could come on in a week before the actual labor or before the water breaks.
