Worried I won't know its contractions

We're about 30 miles away from our birth center, so I'm assuming we'll have to head out a little sooner than barely able to talk especially if little miss decides to get things moving during the worst traffic of the day.

I'm alright with labor at 2am, let's just not do it between 3pm - 7 pm lol

I was in the same boat and although the ride to the hospital was quite awful, we made it way early. I even got sent home twice during what I considered too painful to walk and talk through!

I felt the same as you. I did not know I was having contractions when I was having them. I was not even dilated, they sent me to L&D at a different hospital based on the size of my cervix.

My suggestion, just go to get checked out if you are concerned about it. That's what I did, and it was a good idea too because I was in pre-term labor.
