Signs of labor

Contractions. At first they felt like menstrual cramps and were about 15 minutes apart, then they became stronger and more frequent.

With my first it was light cramping. Wasn’t painful at all, didn’t think it was it but went and I was 4cm. With my son I had horrible pressure in my butt that I timed and was about 5 minutes. Went in and I was almost 5cm. Signs vary from person to person. Quite frankly I’m terrified this time around because I did 3 hours of labor at home because I didn’t think it was time. My SO says I’m gonna have our daughter at home at this rate. Lol

I had my bloody show and it was HORRIFYING. Contractions started right after.

"Weak braxton hicks" contractions is how i described them. Lol. They never got as strong or as regular as my actual braxton hicks had been. Was induced with my second so nothing i can add from her
