Question for the moms- those who recently had their first baby or who didn't go directly in for a c-section or those who remember exactly what happen for their first baby, How did you know you were going into labor? I know most times doctors bring u in to be induced but I think my LO wants out lol. Im just anxious, nervous, all the above lol
Typical things they say :
Loose bowel movements
Regular contractions/cramps that last a minute at a time
A show - sometimes a bloody show
Waters breaking - if don't go into labour naturally will be induced
For me from about 35 weeks I was getting hour episodes at a time of period like cramps
Then they would fade. I went 12 days overdue and couple of days before I had a bowel clear out. My waters went and instantly would be getting contractions every 5 minutes that lasted between 45seconds to a minute, within couple of hours they became stronger and closer together and just knew I needed to go to the hospital.
I'm wondering this time if it will be so obvious I'm in labour but just hope my instincts kick in.
How have you been feeling?
