New mommies....I've got a question for you...
Before you went into labor... do you remember how you felt? For instance, did you have cramping? Irregular contractions? Were you cranky? Nauseous? Feeling fabulous? etc.....
Just wondering

Cranky, yes. More emotional than usual - and definitely began feeling menstrual cramps!
Why - what are you feeling???

Re: New mommies....I've got a question for you...
I was sleeping and the contractions woke me up. I felt pretty normal. Nothing odd other than the contractions felt nothing like I thought they would. They started out feeling like gas pains very low in my abdomen, so I didn't know what they were until the pain changed and I started feeling it in my back.

Re: New mommies....I've got a question for you...
I felt nothing..no cramping or anything. I had back labor and started have terrible pains in my back. It lasted from 9pm until the time I delivered at 1:25pm the next day. I think I am in the minority!

At 37 weeks - I'm definitely more cranky. I got sick the other night  And a few nights, last night especially, I was woken up with cramping... gassy... diahrea like cramps and they lasted from 2-4:30... I can't say they were "contractions" cuz I don't know what they feel like  But my back was hurting along with the cramps. They were irregular and didn't get stronger. I was able to relax through them and doze off here and there. But the ony way I could get comfy was to sit up and fall asleep that way.

It could be the start of something. When are you scheduled to see your doctor?

This happened to me for over 3 weeks before I went into labor

Those "contractions" you're describing are exactly what mine felt like. I felt like I had a mix between a terrible flu and terrible menstrual cramps.

Re: New mommies....I've got a question for you...
The day I went into labor I had a bad backache all day that I thought was just typical pregnancy aches and pains when actually it was the onset of labor.
