Did you have an inclination you were going to be going into labor soon?

Question

This is my second pregnancy but will be my first time going past 37 weeks. With my first I had to be induced at 37 weeks so I never experienced going into labor myself or even having Braxton Hicks or signs labor was coming soon. My question for you mommy’s who have had a baby already is did you have any idea labor would be coming soon before you went into labor? Or did it kind of take you by surprise? We’re there warning signs?

Answer

I had my girl 9pm on a Tues night, with my water breaking at 8am at 39+2. A few days before, on Sunday, I felt like I couldn't get my body clean when showing. I called my husband in to get my back and he was gently washing. I was like, NO, SCRUB MY BACK HARD. Looking back on it, I bet it was my body preparing for birth. About 12 hours before my water broke, I remember getting super pissed at my husband because he was laying on the bed where I wanted to be and breathing. Not even loud, just breathing. Lol. Once again, I chalked my elevated anger to my hormones preparing for labor. Good luck.

Answer

The day before my due date I was crying because I was so sure I WASNT going into labor. 2 hours after going to bed I woke up to contractions that were 6.5 minutes apart. Had my daughter on her due date :) I'm hoping for something similar with this pregnancy! So no to answer your question I had no inclination.
