What were your signs of labor coming?

Question

Yes, I know everyone is different, i was just wondering what other people's experiences were. I've done this before, but my daughter is 11, so its been a long time!

Answer 1

with my daughter, i really didn't have any signs. i went a week overdue, and was scheduled to be induced, but i went into labor the night before. the only "sign" that i had, was i started having little twinges down there, and i just told myself "i think this is it!" sure enough, they were contractions that started very small, and got worse. that's pretty much it!

i never dilated early, my water never broke, and i never lost my mucus plug. everything happened after i was in the hospital for about 4 hours after my contractions had started.

now, i'm 37 weeks along with a baby boy. so far, i've dilated to almost 2cm, they baby's head is engaged, i've lost my mucos plug, and i've been having BH contractions like crazy! totally opposite of my daughter! i'm hoping i'm not too far away!
