Answer

I was getting sharp pain in my vagina and It didn't seem normal they were off and on for an hour didn't think anything of it just thought it was his head moving down or him just moving weird so I took a warm bath and then went for a walk and bounced on my labor ball and then got up sat down on the couch and all of a sudden got really bad pains that thru me off the couch and then since it lasted two hours I went to the hospital with my mom and husband and his mom and sister and I was dilated to a three and didn't think it was labor because I was the way for two weeks but the pain didn't go away the nurse said she'll give me 20 mins then check me again and when she did I was a 4 and so she said she was keeping me and I could get my epidural and then when that was in she came in an hour later then told me I was a 9 that she had to call the doctor my doctor was still in her call on the way to the hospital 😖 and when she got there I was a 10 and ready she thru her coat in the floor and scrubbed her hand and then came over and told me to push and omg everything happen so fast I was so scared but my baby boy was out in three pushes and a healthy 7 pounds 15 ounces and 20 inches long on October 5th at 230 am he's my world in so in love 😍

Answer

I started to feel a dull, aching pain in my lower back, like the baby was resting on my tailbone. The following morning I woke up feeling like I had a huge bowel movement. I sat on the toilet and after nothing was coming out, I realized I was feeling the urge to push out the baby!! Started feeling contractions 2 mins apart right after that and she was born 6.5 hours later.

Answer

My water broke, not a big gush or anything just continuous drips and I lost my mucus plug. I went into the hospital and they checked to see if my water did break and yup :) I was sent to labor and delivery and given pitocin and 10 hours later my baby girl came :)

Answer

They felt like really bad period cramps. Like really bad period cramps. But not too bad that I couldn't handle them. I thought contractions were all over your stomach. But they were just where I normally felt cramps.

Answer

I knew I was in labor when my "Braxton hicks" contractions started coming more frequently and lasting longer and came with a gradually increasing pain.

Following! I keep getting menstral like cramps, and because I'm doing a little too much around the house, I keep getting really bad back pain too. So I immediately look at a clock to follow 511 rule. Nothing yet. I think I just need to take it easy. ...yeah right! 39.1 weeks, I've got so much nesting to do!
