How did you feel days leading up to labor?

Question

I know it's different for everyone and every pregnancy ,But im a ftm and 37 weeks ,just curious so I can maybe know what or what nit to expect thx ! Symptoms or what u think was a Symptoms,  odd or normal I just wanna hear lol 😆

Answer

Absolutely nothing. I rode my bike to my midwife appointment when I was 40+5, felt totally normal. At 6:45 that night I started having mild contractions and my daughter was born at 6:45 the following evening.

Answer

I felt swollen in my ankles and legs because I think baby dropped and I was still very active w/ gardening, errands, work etc! I guess swelling can be dangerous but I was fine ☺️ definitely knew baby dropped but my belly didn’t look lower! That was 3 days before baby came.

Answer

There was no warning lol Just woke up to contractions that kept getting more intense and closer together.

Answer

Personally had zero symptoms and was overdue. It all just came on out of nowhere.

Answer

I knew I was contracting and doctor said I wasn’t and should just wear a belly band but I had on and off contractions for a whole week, until my water broke on Sunday. Baby was born at 37w2d with no complications. This was my first baby so I didn’t know what exactly to expect, but my instinct was right
