How did you know you were in labor???

Question

Leave me your labor stories in the comments 😂 idk what to expect or what signs to be looking for!! So far I feel the “lightning crotch” and a lot of period-like cramps in my back and lower abdomen and pelvis..

Answer

I knew when my water broke. The contractions I was getting before I had gotten in the last few weeks of pregnancy so they weren't an indicator for me. After that, sh*t got real real. Real quick!

Answer

With my first, I just had period like cramps that got more and more regular and intense. When I couldn’t talk through them, we called my midwife and went in. I was already six cm dilated. Baby was born 5 hours later. 
With my second, my water broke. Then contractions started. Then I vomited (transition). Made it to the hospital
And baby came 40 minutes later.
