What were your signs before labour?

Question

Mums who have had their little ones already were there any signs before you went into labour? What were your symptoms

Answer

With my first, I went to bed with no symptoms-woke up around 1am after about an hour of sleep, went pee and poop like 4 times in an hour and period like cramps.  by the time 3 Or 4 am hit, I was at 5-1-1, had to pause during contractions and focus, etc. was throwing up by the time I got to the hospital, by 7am, I was dilated to a 7 and by 11:40 am baby boy was in my arms. 
With baby number two, pretty similar, except about an hour early and no sleep until we got to the hospital (contractions were much more bearable), even was able to sleep. Baby girl was born 11:14am. (Found out after I got to the hospital I had had a trickle in my bags of water, but I didn’t know that before I got there-no big fish or anything).
So, all that to say, I didn’t really have much warning/signs for either before labor started. My first came at 38 weeks and my second at 39 weeks.

Answer

With my first, I woke up in the middle of the night naseuous and so dizzy. I thought maybe I was dehydrated. That was at around 1 AM. After I was able to get back to sleep I then woke up at 6AM with contractions every 12 minutes. Not super painful, but I knew they weren’t Braxton Hicks. They progressed slowly all day and finally by 8 PM they were 5 minutes apart so I went to the hospital. I was at 4/5 centimeters dilated. I didn’t have him until 8:51 the next morning so it was really slow going my first time. I’m currently 37+4 with my second so we’ll see how it goes this time around!
