The week leading upto labor- do u know it's close? - Page 3

Clareabell · Sep 29th, 2011, 08:38 AM

The few days before I gave birth I felt crampy and a bit under weather, I didn't have much energy and spent the days on the sofa relaxing. Because of pre eclampsia I was at the hospital the day before she was born and was checked. My cervix was completely closed and prosterior. Eight the next morning I stepped out of bed and my waters broke over the floor

and my contractions started up.

17 hours later she was here

It's made me a bit happy. Had my 37 week appointment today and was told i was completely closed, and only 50% effaced. Was really bummed, as I am scheduled for a membrane break at 39 weeks, and would like to have it happen naturally instead. BUT, who knows

I knew it was coming. from that Tuesday I was cramping more and just feeling very wierd, I kept losing my plug too... I said to my OH I give myself until Saturday, and I had her on Saturday!

Each pregnancy and each woman is different. With my first I had no clue that labor was on the horizon. My first clue with him was my waters breaking and then the contractions kicked in. I felt nothing out of the ordinary with him. With my second I had some clues a few days before my waters broke. I went poo a lot more, I had some mild contractions and just felt overall anxious that labor was impending. Labor can come on slowly or very quickly. Good luck!

with my second i was dilated 3cm for over a week so i knew it could be anytime x

I was in and out of labor for months but the week before my daughter was born, I was very edgy, very nervous. I knew I still had a month before she was due, but I just was sure she was going to show any time. I was anxious, just wanted to be done. I don't know if this is because I knew she was coming, or if it was because I was just having such a miserable pregnancy experience that I was just ready to be done and have the complications and pain come to an end.
