Did any of you know labor was coming?

Question

Those who went into labor on their own or “naturally”, did you have a feeling you were gonna go soon? Any feelings? Or did you have no idea!!

Answer

I lost my filter the day I went into labor. I kept thinking I was in such a weird mood. I could feel my hormones changing. I had a horrible intern and I finally told her what I thought of her (to the applause of everyone else that worked in the office.) I left at the end of the day and told my coworkers I was going to go home and have my baby. My water broke a couple hours later. I was 9 days early.

Answer

The day I went into labor I didn’t think I was in labor, nor did I “feel” it coming. It kinda just gradually happened. I had light cramping all day like I normally had been having for weeks. They would come and go but weren’t consistent. By 12am I starting to notice those period like cramps were starting to come regularly. By 4am I woke up my fiancée and told him that my cramps were coming regularly but weren’t painful and didn’t know if I was in labor. He insisted I called my doctors office and she told me to head to L&D. I ate a bowl of cereal, he grabbed the bags and car seat and by 5am we were on our way to the hospital. Got there and was 6cm and contracting every 3-4 minutes. Going into labor was not how I imagined it. I really didn’t know I was in labor. My contractions were not like people said they just felt like bad period cramps, not until they gave me pitocin to help me dilate faster did things get more intense lol

Answer

I was leaking fluid for a few days before my water actually broke. I half knew it was coming and half thought it was just pee because that’s what google says! Lol

Answer

I did. For two days before contractions started, I was pooping a lot and having a weird burning pain in the top of my belly. I just felt off. Then the day before, I vomited from that pain. I went to bed at like midnight and the contractions started an hour later. Went to L&D at about 3am when they were like 4-6 minutes apart.

Answer

I had no idea. Everything felt the same until I stood up and my water broke.

Answer

I woke up at midnight I was tossing and turning all night so I couldn't sleep, I got up and me and my husband went and got food at McDonald's because I was starving haha and when we got back I was uncomfortable contractions nothing to painful and not even an hour later I was in pain Haha I was like I think it's time I wasn't timing them at all I just knew this hurt and this is the kind of hurt they tell you to worry about haha we got to the hospital and sure enough I was in active labor and I was 7cm hour went by the broke my water at an 8 and it was a few hours later I had my son.

Answer

My water broke while I was sleeping, and I had thought I just peed myself. I woke up, ate breakfast, and then contractions started at 2 minutes apart. Called my SO to leave work and by the time he got home and we headed to the hospital, they were 1 minute apart and the hospital was an hour from us. A home birth was against our lease otherwise I would’ve stayed home. My SO drove 99 the whole way and within 10 minutes of getting there, I had her. He had been having dreams a couple weeks before about having to deliver her himself in the van😂🖤

Answer

I just felt super weird all day. I was jittery and could not stop eating when I was at work. But then I couldn’t stomach to eat dinner. My water broke at 10 PM.

Answer

The day I went into early active labor at 40+3 I didn't feel right. Couldn't put my finger on what was wrong. Had plans to get breakfast and do errands as my doctor said I'd have her by the end of the week despite not being dialed at my appointment two days before. We went to my favorite breakfast place and I ordered the usual and couldn't eat it after a couple bites. I knew something wasn't right in that moment lol. By noon I was having contractions that I could time but not enough to call labor and delivery. The next day I was told to go to the hospital and I had her the following day
