Warning signs labor is coming??

Question

Did you have any signs before your labor started or did your water break (or not break) and all of a sudden BAM terrible pain and contractions?!

Answer

I had extremely LIGHT cramps. Then felt like I needed to poop, again no pain. Couldn’t go, felt down and there was baby’s head. This time around I’ll be taking those light cramps as labor signs lol. It happened with both previous pregnancies. No pain just light cramping maybe very light tightening

Answer

my first 3 the contractions started and my 4th my water broke and my 5th membrane sweep then contractions started right after

Answer

Lol it’s nothing like the movies. My water has never broken. A lot of times it breaks while in late stages of labor. You (can) get what’s called your bloody show before you go into labor. Which is your mucus plug coming apart. When I go into labor it feels like a tummy ache for maybe 20 seconds at a time. And then it gets longer, stronger, and closer together.

Answer

I woke up nauseous after having a butterfly feeling all day.... felt off and couldn’t sleep then got a tummy ache and went to toilet and was having the start of the bloody show.... contractions started soon after. My waters didn’t break till her head came out

Answer

I had absolutely no signs, I had been @ my OB’s office the day before for an NST & everything was exactly the same as it had been for the last several weeks, they did a cervix check & I was only a fingertip dilated & 40% effaced, I was 39weeks2days along @ the appointment, @ 2am the next morning I woke up feeling mild period like cramping, I kept drifting in & out of sleep being woken up regularly by the cramping, finally around 4am I decided to start timing it but didn’t wake up my husband, when he got up for the day @ 6am I let him know they were mild & coming every 15 to 20 minutes & lasting about 30 seconds, I told him to go to work that it was probably going to be awhile, we didn’t go to the hospital until 8pm that night, I got sent home because I was only 1cm dilated & 80% effaced, we went back around 3am the next morning, still only 2cm dilated but the contractions were coming every 3 min, lasting a minute & I was vomiting from the pain, they had me walk the halls for an hour & then I finally got to 3cm so they admitted me, my water never broke so they broke it for me & I didn’t have my bloody show until I’d been on pitocen for several hours, ended up having baby via csection the next day

Answer

I had no warning signs. I had a single true contraction at about 6pm night before my due date. 2am on my due date, my water broke in a leak. I was admitted and progressed fairly slowly.

Answer

I woke up with mild cramps that just never went away. Later that day my water broke 😊
