What were your labor is coming soon signs?

Question

I've heard there's so many things that happen the last few weeks to month before baby comes. What were this signs for you? I can tell baby is dropping. I can feel it in my hips 😭 I've also been SO so tired. I try to take care of my nesting instinct but every 5-10 minutes I have to sit. I'm sleeping as much as physically possible. I'm sooo tired but my mind is running through all the things that need done.

Answer

I didn’t really have anything leading up to my daughters labor. I was 6 days past my due date. I woke up at 5:30am to pee and when I laid back down I felt a gush and thought I peed myself. Got up and went to the bathroom and it was for sure my water breaking😂 I had no contractions or anything leading up to my water breaking. But as soon as it broke those contractions hit hard af😅

I woke up with intense contractions and in active labor with my first two kiddos. I had BH contractions and some cramping the night prior with both. My third baby was a different story and my water broke with her spontaneously in the afternoon without any sign labor was imminent (no contractions or cramping or anything).
