How did you know you were in labor???

Question

.

Answer

The nurse said "You're 4.5cm, you're having a baby today" lol. I had no clear cut "You're in labor" sign. I was pre-labor for a week. Terrible back labor pains. Contractions. 
I really hope this time is clear cut. Water breaks, then go to the hospital. Easy.

Answer

With my first it  as easy to figure out. Regular contractions for a couple hours so I went to the hospital and was 4 cm dilated. I had her later that day. This time it’s been different. Irregular contractions and lots of lower back pain for two weeks now. I’m at home and 3cm dilated...: just waiting for active labour to happen :p

Answer

Answer

I just felt like crap with period cramps that seemed rhythmic. They waxed and waned and I just wanted to stay in bed. They were not unbearable by any means

Answer

With my first it was back labor.. I wasn’t sure if it was real labor at first but I figured it out by timing them and they wold get more intense as well. With my second it was contractions in the front - they never got unbearable but were consistent so that’s how I knew. Plus I had my membranes stripped the day before so I figured I might be in labor.
