With my first I didn't have any BHs or contractions before my water broke (I don't remember feeling anything). I had him at 38 weeks and was in labor for 24 hrs-pushed for 2. Horrible L&D. With this pregnancy I've been having extreme BHs since 28 weeks. I was in L&D twice already to stop contractions. Since my body is "preparing its self for labor" is it possible I will I have a shorter and easier delivery? Anyone had this experience?
