How did everyones labor start?

Question

I'm 38 weeks 1 day and I've been having some really crazy pain in my lower belly and pelvis. it is horrible, like taking my breath away but it is not contractions. So, I'm just wondering what everyone experienced during early labor and how fast you progressed. TIA

Answer

Mine wasn’t like that. Mine was what you’d expect. Mild contractions that slowly got more painful and more consistent as the hours passed. It started in the middle of the night. Not to say yours isn’t normal! Everyone starts differently. Good luck :)

Answer

I'm 34 weeks and have these same pains, I also have painful contractions at night. My cervix has been monitored and so far hasn't opened. 
With my first I had these pains for weeks and then irregular contractions for 11 days before my water broke.

Answer

My water broke at 1230am with zero signs a day past my due date. I wasn’t dilating so I got put on pitocin and had my daughter 36 hours later.

Answer

I have the same pain and I’m 35 weeks pregnant. I told my doctor my pain and she asked if I had any tightening or painful contractions— I said no and she wasn’t worried. It maybe a sign though, I’m a couple of weeks behind you.
