Your pre-birth experience

edited September 2012 in Labor
Before you went into actual labor, how did you feel? I know everyone will be a bit different, I am just curious. My midwife hasn't really been that helpful in this specific stage.

  • Well i was induced but i had contractions before i waS. It was constant back pain and pressure low in my uterus. More annyoing than painful
  • I felt strange as well. Sharp pains in my cervix woke me up and I got up to pee and found my bloody show
  • i feel like jailynn is trying to push her way out. she is super active and she has been pretty chill the past couple days. random nasty pains too
  • I felt completely normal when i sat down to fold laundry & my water broke. I was afraid i peed myself & l&d was gonna turn me away but by the time i got there it was obvious that it was my water. I was already 6 days overdue though & pretty uncomfortable at that pt.
  • I was cooking yesterday and my waters just went. Unfortunately my contractions haven't started and baby is a little distressed so there inducing me now . But as for feeling any different, then nope, I felt completely normal x
  • i was very crampy & waking up to pee & also contractions every hour
  • I slept all night got up went to the Dr. I was 4 cm I went shopping for about an hour after Dr and came home and slept all day I was Sooo tired water broke at 3am
  • BITCHY!!! Lol! I never had any crazy mood swings during pregnancy but the night I went into labor I was super crabby and really restless. I remember googling restlessness to see if it was a sign of labor (it was) and a few hours later my water broke!
  • Woke up to contractions and noticed my underwear was wet. I had a slow leak.

  • I felt like something wasn't right and couldn't sleep well.
  • i made a whole discussion on this last october lol you can read it there becasue its longgg! lol
  • I felt horrible..I wasn't hungry and if I ate I was nauseous. I layed around mostly that day, slept on and off. My water started to leak around 4pm, headed into the hospital about 5pm and had her at 10pm exactly. I had been at 5cm for about 5 days prior and was still the same when I went in. I wasn't having regular contractions so they put me on pitocin.

    Well I don't know if I was having Braxton Hicks or contractions but I was having lower back pains and lower abdomen pains ever 5-10minutes to a point where I was so uncomfortable I couldn't sleep barely any my last week of pregnancy...
  • With my first I don't remember. With my second, I had a scheduled c section. I had to be at the hospital at 6am. I woke up at 1am with strong contractions. Never lost my mucus plug, bloody show or anything. I guess he wanted me to know he wanted to come...they weren't going to just make him. Lol
