does anyone else feel this way?

Question

I keep thinking that im going to be in labor and not know. Like my water will be leaking and ill just think its normal or ill have contractions and just think there braxton hicks. I hope i just know when im in labor.

Answer

Hahahahahaha this is so me! I was going to ask this same question! I feel like my water is going to break and I wouldn't know or some times I feel like I'm having actually contractions and not really know. My braxton hicks are coming very often and I feel like I won't be able to tell the difference between the two because some times I have back pains during my b.h. so idk..I just want to be prepared or at least be able to hold out a few more weeks so I can work a little longer.

Answer

I'm worried about the contractions 😬 and not being able to time them. I don't want to drive 45 minutes away to there and be told their 20 minutes apart or something crazy. Plus I'd really like to stay home as long as possible.

Answer

I'll be honest.  I didn't know my water broke. I was 38 weeks  FTM  out for Sunday breakfast and just kept feeling like I was peeing my pants.  There was no gush or anything.    I had some mild back aches.   Over time the contraction and pain set in but I had no clue at first.

Water broke maybe 10am. I went to the hospital at 4.    When I got there I was 2mins apart and had him at 1047pm.

I had nothing ready.....no car seat in the car. No baby bag or hospital bag ready.   I figured hey I had 2 more weeks.

Just be prepared for anything!!

Answer

Oh you will know! Lol

Answer

When real labor kicks in you will know . Those contractions made me slide down a wall and walk up the bed using my butt. Lol

Answer

First time being pregnant and I have the same fear. I'm currently 34 weeks 5 days and have yet to feel Braxton hicks. I'm also scared that I won't make it to the hospital in time

Answer

I have worried about this too but when I mentioned this to my midwife she chuckled and said "trust me... you'll know" so yeah...
