Symptoms before giving birth??

Question

So there are loads of potential symptoms listed on google for right before you go in to labour but just wondering what all you real life lovely people experienced. What was the tell tale signs for everything starting? Did everyone lose mucus plug & water break? Was there anything specific that started you off?

Answer

I never noticed my mucus plug or any bloody show but the week up until I had my daughter I felt very nauseous tired and my body was clearing itself out a lot. The day before I felt her VERYYY heavy and low in my pelvis area and the night before my water broke I was having extremely bad back labor pains.

Answer

I had extra watery discharge for a few days, turns out it was my waters leaking, lots of blood tinged mucus on the day. Contractions all the week before but just uncomfortable, plus a general "off"  feeling.

Answer

I had a day of just feeling 'off' wasn't quite right. Had a nice relaxing radox bath...waters broke before I managed to get dressed after the bath. Then a few hours later contractions started. Good luck!

Answer

I started getting really quiet emotional and nauseous more than usual. I lost my mucus plug and went into labor a few days later already dilated.

Answer

I lost parts of my mucus plug all day the day I gave birth

Answer

I didnt have exactly any  "labor is imminent!" Signs. Over a period of couple weeks,  i experienced dialation, effacement, engagement, mucus plug, bloody show, contractions that were "regular " but didnt put me into active labor, braxton hicks, lots of pressure, and feeling able to breathe better. Lol. Now that i look back, all that sounds awful! The actual day of labor...i woke up around 9am with mild, irregular, contractions. Varying like 7-11 mins apart. This went on until like 7 pm. They were gradually getting more painful, but still irregular and i could "walk and breathe" through them. Around 8:30, they were even more painful, and i thought f it, told my husband lets just go get checked. Maybe if were lucky they'll just break my water and keep us! Lol, well we got there around 930pm, i was 6cm and 100% effaced with babys head "right there". So i got my epidural, had my water broken, and by 12:38 am, she was born 💕 totally was expecting to be sent home. She was 7#2oz, and i was 39weeks. Wierdly, all 3 of my babes came exactly 39 weeks. Anyways, GOOD LUCK!! sometimes  theres slow progression of signs, and it doesnt always happen the day of labor!!
