Might be a dumb question but did you feel any signs the hours or a day before that labor was coming or was it completely random? I guess I'm just wondering if I'm going to wake up one night with or randomly be hit with contractions at some unknown point and that will be that....

Re: when you went into labor....

Day before dd I had doc appt and they said I had made no progress and we would start discussing induction/c section a week after my due date. I came home crying emailing my boss that I would never have the baby.

Woke up at 6 am and had to go to bathroom. Got out of bed and had a sharp pain. Things started from there. She was born 3 am that night/following day.

Everyone is different. Good luck

Re: when you went into labor....

This is way TMI, but I went to the bathroom a lot the day before I went into labor. I had mentioned it to my mom and she said that is a sign that labor is coming.

Re: when you went into labor....

Not really. The day before I went into full blown labor I was having some random contractions here and there.
I didn't even know at the time that they were contractions, but I guess they were. But they were very sporadic and far apart.

Nope, no signs. I woke up and was spotting so my OB told me to come in. On my way there, I thought I was starting to have minor contractions. Turned out I was already 4cm dilated.

Totally random for me. Other than that I was slightly dilated the week before.

With both kids I happened to have a doctors appointment on the day they were born, with #1 I was 6cm at the doctors in active labor and didn't feel it, with #2 I was 7-8cm at the doctors, felt some cramping early in the day, but since I had an appointment anyway I just waited.

Re: when you went into labor....

For both of mine, I lost my plug the night before and went into labor following day. Let's see if that holds true for this one.

A few days before I had randomly vomited. Then, the day before I felt cramping and discomfort. The day of, however, I was bopping around like normal when BAM! water broke in the car as I was running errands.

No signs really - I was due to get induced that night at midnight. Around 9pm, I went to start getting ready, taking a shower, etc. and BAM contractions started. Prior to that I was about 3cm dilated for maybe a good week or two. I did start having random nights of contractions that never panned into anything.

For me, random. Water broke, I was driving, thankfully with DH. I felt and heard it. Once I stepped out of car was when gush happened.

Try to relax as much as you can and kind of prepare yourself for anything.

Good luck!

Crashing....

With DD1 I had a ton of nervous energy two days before I went into labor. I started having contractions which I thought were cramps.

With DD2 I had no warning at all before my water broke, in the middle of the night, while I was sleeping.

Good luck!

Re: when you went into labor....

Nothing.

I actually went into work in the morning and apparently I was in labor. I kept having what I thought was Braxton Hicks, but they were actually real contractions...

First I was induced and had no signs of anything happening.

Second baby I had mild menstrual like cramping on and off for about a week. I had false labor the day before I went into actual labor. Well I started getting mild contractions (not even painful, just uncomfortable) and had my bloody show that night/early morning around 3 am. Contractions intensified and became more frequent at 8 am; I was admitted to hospital around 9. I had ds at 1:18 pm.

Re: when you went into labor....

I had cramping/contractions on and off for about 2 weeks prior, but they were pretty noticeably different the evening before I went into labor (labor started about 1:30am). At my appointment that afternoon I was about 2.5cm dilated, 60% effaced, but baby was still up very high.

Nope, I was rolling out a pie crust when I started having cramps like AF. After I finished baking the pie, I was like, "ok I'm in labor" lol

No signs of going into labor other than losing my mucus plug the day before. When I did start experiencing the contractions they felt like really bad menstrual cramps that progressed to full blown contractions.

I knew from the day before. I was nauseous, in a lot of pain, and kept thinking, "this better be it because I can't take another 2 weeks of this!" Lots of really and cramping too.
