Baby coming ?

Question

What were people's symptoms before they went into labor ? Or ways to get your body more dilated and ways to get into labor ?

Answer

With my son I remember being really achy all day. Like I had the flu. After a close call while driving (and I mean the guy was literally an inch from hitting my car) I started having really strong cramps that started in my back and came around under my belly (like on my panty line) but they weren't consistent at all. Each of them lasted at least 30 seconds and I had to brace myself. Probably had 4 in 4 hours? Then my water broke and contractions definitely started at that point. Now every time I get lightning crotch I pray my water isn't about to break! My daughter needs to cook for another 3 weeks at least 😉

I'm curious how I'll feel this time leading up to labor.

Answer

Not sure about others, but I'm feeling random nausea lately, definitely frequent bm, menstrual cramps and back aches. They feel more consistent and you just know it's coming because of the difference it feels. ... I mean your body prepares you weeks ahead of labor, but when the time comes, just go with your instincts.

I actually have been walking everyday for an hour or more (ends up hurting your back and pelvic like crap but it helps your muscles during labor and helps lower baby). Sex definitely works too, honestly I haven't been having frequent sex in my third trimester but I noticed a difference again near the start of labor.
