What did you feel like the day you went into labor?

Question

How were you feeling when you naturally went into labor?

Answer

I was tired. I had contractions the night before for 4 hours, but they were not consistent enough to go in. I went in for my last follow up appt before I was going to be induced and my doctor informed me I was 4 cm and could go into active labor at any minute. I was not expecting that! I had planned to get a pedicure and my car washed and ended up in L&D instead haha.

Answer

With my first, my water broke, so it was easy to know I had to go to the hospital. This time around I feel clueless, like I won't know when it's actually time

Answer

With my first I had mild contractions all day on a Saturday, went to a wedding that night and was timing them at the dinner table. Went home and to bed and they slowly started ramping up. By 0200, I couldn't sleep. Lost my mucus plug at 0730 and water broke soon after. Stayed home in active labor until 830am when I couldn't handle the pain anymore (with my doula).  Got to the hospital and was 10 cm by noon. Baby was born after 23 min of pushing. Hoping this round is a tad faster! (Even though that is considered fast😊)

Answer

I was cranky all day. Just kind of in a bad mood. I had been having contractions for two days but they would stop at night. I went walking around Target all day until I couldn't do it anymore. Then went home and cleaned my house until I was sure they weren't going to stop.

Answer

I remember with my first, I got flu like symptoms... And have read here of many women who's that has also happened before labor :)

Answer

With my first I felt completely normal until my water broke suddenly. I'm 38 weeks with #2 and anxiously awaiting any little symptom or contraction!

Answer

Until contractions started, pretty much like normal. I cleaned out my desk at work, but that's all. No real clues.
