Signs/Symptoms of Labor

Kyah

Hello ladies! For those of us in the home stretch of this: WE ARE ALMOST THERE!!! 😍😍 soon we will be holding our babies and all of these pains, sickness feelings, etc will all be worth it!!

I am 33 weeks and 4 days today and I’m getting anxiety like CRAZY. My heart keeps skipping beats, my knees and feet go numb, and I get flutters in my tummy (different from baby kicking/moving) and it’s just my anxiety of the home stretch lol (I hope?)

I’ve been in L&D twice in the last 2 weekends for possible preterm labor (first because my mucus plug came out and second time was because I had bleeding with the mucus) apparently (according to L&D) these were normal things that just “happen” at this stage of pregnancy. FUNNY because it didn’t happen this early with my first 2.

AAAAAANYWHOOOOO...

THIS POST IS JUST FOR FUN

What were your early labor signs/symptoms?

With my first I had NO CLUE. I randomly woke up out of a dead sleep and was WIDE awake and thought “hmmm maybe I need to pee?” I got up and as I was walking to the bathroom, my water just broke! With my second, I had bloody show, cramps, and then my water started leaking. It was a fast leak but not a full blown break. With this baby, I am told I’m more than 2cm dilated, lost mucus plug, bloody show, cramping, the “runs”, feeling sick, increased need to pee, and loss of appetite. (Can’t say for sure that these are early signs symptoms for my third because I’m not in labor yet but hey, can’t help but symptom spot lol)

DISCLAIMER:

Please do NOT give ways to rush labor. I do NOT want ways to self induce labor. This baby will come when ready. 😊🖤

Just throwing this out there because I’ve read posts where women just throw out ideas for inducing at home and I really don’t want to do that. I’d rather go a month over than force him out before he’s ready 😊🖤
