This is for women with an extremely high pain tolerance. Like, EXTREMELY high.

For example, last year I walked around, worked all week, and tried on wedding dresses, with appendicitis. I just thought I was about to get my period. The day my appendix ruptured I almost went into work because I thought I just had to poop bad, but a friend convinced me to go to urgent care since I had had a dilation and evacuation one month prior and it could’ve been a surgical complication.

Anyway, I’m concerned that with my ridiculously high pain tolerance I’ll miss some of the key signs of labor. Obviously if my water breaks I’ll notice, but that doesn’t happen for everyone. What signs are there that I can be aware of other than abdominal pain? I have twice weekly NSTs which have been recording contractions, but I don’t feel them either... I’m 36w today.
