Did you go into labor out of the blue or warning signs before?

Question

I’m 39+3 due July 24th and soooo over being pregnant! 😂 I just cannot wait to meet this little nugget. Just wondering what most women experience- out of the blue contractions starting, water breaking/leaking or clear warning signs for a while before going into labor? 
Im doing my very best not to think about it because I’m convinced she’ll come when I least expect it 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

July 19th at 1:30 am, I was talking to my mom before bed (she had just flown in) and I told her I thought we would have to be induced next week because there was no way he was coming out any time soon. We went to bed, I woke up at 5 am to pee then fell back asleep. I had a dream that my water was breaking at my old place of work back in the town I grew up in. I woke up to a completely wet bed, on my due date, July 19th. I got up, check to make sure it wasn't pee, got a towel to use as a diaper and woke up my mom with 'good morning, we are having a baby today'. I had absolutely zero signs of labor even 5 hours before my water broke in my sleep. I didn't end up delivering him until today, July 20th with 20 hours of labor.

Answer

Following due July 27th

Answer

I had very few signs before hand. No bloody show. No water breaking. 
The only sign I had ahead of time was my muscles got a lot looser the couple days before. It made everything more difficult to do. Lifting, walking, putting groceries away. Etc.

Answer

With my first I was already in labor and didn't know. Went to the hospital with an awful nonstop migraine and had him less than 24 hours later. My second I was in latent labor for a week then I started having the most painful contractions and 25 minutes later he was born. This one I've been in latent labor two weeks and have had contractions and back labor but not strong enough contractions for active labor 😒😕. I'm to be induced Wednesday if he doesn't come before then. So all 3 have been very different hah.

Answer

Same due date!! Following 😂

Answer

I was due the 25th & had my son on the 15th. For a couple weeks leading up to it, I had crazy lightning crotch lol..it was actually painful and would shoot like up the front of my stomach, and it was way worse at night. Week 37 is when it all REALLY started, though. I noticed I actually dropped and had some mucus plug come out that same day (but it didn't have color to it) I had SO much pelvic pain when walking, getting up ect. Light to moderate menstrual-like cramping. I was also dilated to 3 & 70% effaced at my 38 week appt. So the day I had him, i thought i kept having little bits of pee come out that i didn't fully get out in the bathroom..and it turned out to be my water! It wasn't a constant trickle or anything like that..it would just randomly come out little by little over the course of the morning/early afternoon. I was chugging water so I thought maybe my pregnant bladder couldn't handle it lol. I had no pain whatsoever btw.
