Did you have a feeling you were going into labor or was it a surprise?

Question

Feel free to leave your labor stories i love reading them!

Answer

Complete surprise. I was miserable and just resigned myself to having him after the due date. My water broke when I went to the bathroom at 10pm and I had him thr next day at 11:35.

Answer

Well I can't say it was a feeling, but at 40+5 it certainly wasn't a surprise lol! Actually contractions started at 40+3, but it took 33 hours until he finally entered the world. Even though I know that it was -pain wise- the worst experience of my life, what stayed with me was the absolutely indescribable feeling I had when he was placed on my bare chest. Everything else is forgotten, which is why I'm in fact looking forward to giving birth again in about 2.5 months! 🤗

Answer

Other than being 40+4 I had no signs or felling that my water were to break. Baby came 40+6.

Answer

My first I walked around the night before a lot just killing time out with hubs. Felt a little more tired and my back was hurting a little. But I just attributed it to walking so much. I was 40+1. 
Woke up at 2:30am with first contractions, she was here by 10:55am same day! ❤️
My second I was up with my first and doing regular morning routine when I noticed gas pains that wouldn’t pass. Then I decided to time them and it was baby day! They started around 7am and he was here at 12:44pm! ❤️ I was 39+6!

Answer

I was induced with my 1st DD. But my second her due date was 10/9 but around 930 on 10/8 I started having bad contractions every 5 minutes probably, and somehow still managed to cry through showering! 😂 we had got to the hospital almost an hour later and they had put me into the room to be checked, I was PISSED 😂 my contractions weren’t picking up on the monitor when she checked, so she manually had to feel for them 😬 I was 6cm dilated and in active labor. They immediately asked me if I could move to an actual room, and at the point I’m almost crawling. After getting the epidural I was pushing for 15 minutes before she came. she was the fastest labor I’ve ever had. As my first was 14 hours
