I wish there were some real signs of labor aside from water breaking and contractions. The anticipation of waiting and then having 20 new symptoms of feeling like crap sure get you hoping that it’s due to labor, when really it’s just typical pregnancy. Eat that pineapple, take those raspberry leaf tea pills, walk for miles, eat spicy foods, bounce on your yoga ball.. but in actuality baby will come when its ready and wants to. As for me, I have 38 days left, so I’ll keep self diagnosing labor incorrectly until the end.
