Before labor?

Question

Like is there any feeling most people get right before your contractions start or right before your water breaks? Did you feel any certain way? Do you believe anything triggered your labor (walking a lot, sex, food,) did you get Naseous or diarreah or was it just a regular old day and hit you out of nowhere?

Answer

I felt like I was going to start my period on my due date. It was a dull ache type of "menstrual" cramps. I kept saying I think I'm about to start my period. The next night I was eating ice cream and doing rolling squats on a yoga ball. A few hours later my water broke. I think it was the ice cream 😉😂. (Me thinking it was the ice cream that triggered labor is just a joke...just in case someone misses the wink face) lol

I tried everything under the sun to induce labour on my own- nothing worked he came when he was ready- 2 weeks late lol. It took me a while to realize I was in labour when the day actually came.. I felt what was like mild period cramps and i had the urge that I REALLY had to poop but I couldn't.. Then my water broke- at first I thought I had peed myself lol but it kept happening and then I was like "ohh..." My water broke at 11 am, went to see my doc at noon, went home to labour until 9pm and then went to the hospital (was 4cm dilated by then), had baby via csection at 5:26am :) labour pains weren't bad until I got to the hospital

I got the shits for like a week straight before my water broke. And my friend's mom told us to have sex and it worked. I went into labor at 11:00 at night I was sleeping and my water broke. But that whole entire day I had this really heavy feeling down there and it hurt like the baby was going to just fall out.

I put more clothes on and tried going back to sleep but pain got worst and I felt colder. Then I felt like I need to go to the bathroom and got a diarrhea, wasn't bad but ease the pain a little.

Morninf when family woke up and so me there my mom told me I was in labour..Had a bloody shoe at the hospital though not home.

I had a really heavy feeling down there with my first and whenever I tried to walk, my tailbone clicked ominously. I also started having major problems sleeping and was emotionally fit to be tied. That could have been because I was overdue though lol
