Labor

I started with contractions in the morning far apart then as the day went on they got more painful and closer together gave birth at 1.19am but with my first inwas induced

Period like pains! Which later I was told was contractions, my water broke 11:52pm I had my baby 8:07pm the next day!

loss my mucus plug a few day prior and then water broke, an hr later contractions started and then was pushing about 3 hrs later

I was exhausted! And was having pretty strong contractions that were different than the ones I had the week before (had prodromal labor for a full week prior to actual labor). Like more intense and harder to breath through

I was folding clothes and felt a gush of fluid come out and was confused like..... I know i aint just pee sitting here 🤨 then soft contractions that felt like cramps slowly increased over the next maybe 10hrs

Nothing! 🤣

When I started having nausea and contractions were getting worse and faster I honestly didn’t know what Braxton Hicks we’re gonna feel like so to have the pain intensify I knew okay now we can go I didn’t have the water burst moment I was passed out in the tub 🫠😂 went back in forth between the tub and toilet hope to have a better set up my son came when we weren’t at our normal residence but while visiting my mom who came to visit but thank god her vacation rental had a tub I was cooking through contractions matter of fact and once both my hubby and mother went to sleep they became more frequent… it still didn’t register until the nausea began kicking in I lost track of time and count

Cramping, a bloody show and then my waters broke, 5 hours and 50 minutes later I had my baby 👶🏼

With my first no signs just my water broke and with my second I had very bad contractions

Waters broke

i had contractions that would be every 5 mins then stop for 2 weeks up to labour but that was it

😂 being told I was 3cm dialated 🤷‍♀️ I didn’t know i was in labour 🙈 my water didn’t break either I was getting pains but I thought it was braxton hicks because that happened a lot towards the end with my first

Didnt feel anything different but water broke at 4 am

No signs at all just woke for a wee at 5am and my waters broke.. it was a shock 😂 xxx

Literally nothing😂went in for reduced movements and the contractions hit me at a lovely 2 minutes apart straight away😭

I just felt different the day before , couldn’t put my finger on it exactly

I had back ache the day before (turned out to be contractions) and lots of pressure in my pelvis. The morning she was born I threw up everywhere and went to the toilet about 3 times

I starrred getting period pain like contractions a day or two before which got gradually more intense

Nothing no signs except my bowels clearing

Diarrhea 🫠 and losing mucus plug here and there I labored at home pretty much for 2 days before going in Contractions super irregular, starting Friday night , stood up all night from pain Came and went throughout the day, then Saturday noght same thing, at about 3 am it finally got to like 5 min apart but I didn’t wanna leave at 3 am so I showered took a nap and waited for the sun to come up 😅 maybe not the best thing for everyone i was fine but not everyone should follow I got to the hospital at 8 am Sunday, was 3 cm. They took me in anyway because I was scheduled for induction in 3 days and was over 40 weeks. Baby wasn’t born till 4:49 am Monday My labor pretty much took the whole weekend!

Mucus plug a few days before but absolutely nothing else. The popping of my waters woke me up at 3am

Bloody show And the ‘clear out’

Membrane sweep, being 1-2cm dilated but the big one was my mucus plug

I was very emotional 🥹 the day before and I woke up 4 announcing it is time. Contractions started few hours later, lost mucus plug 7cm in any water never broke 😊

My water broke. I started noticing contractions shortly after that.

With my first, it was the bloody show. Even tho the nurses told me that’s not a sign, but for me it was.

@Candise what made you go in for a checkup tho? Was it coz you were already 40 weeks?

@Imane I had a scan at 37 weeks to see if I needed to be induced because baby was measuring small at the last growth scan. I went for the scan they told me she had gained enough weight and I was good to go. Then realised I was in pain (which I still thought was braxton hicks) and asked to do an examination, I hadn’t lost my mucus plug they done that there then I went home and she was born at 1:23am

Loss of part of mucus plug. Felt weird down there. Didn’t know I was in labour at 37 weeks. Had appointment to find out when I was having c section as she was footling breech. Got sent to the hospital already 5cm dilated and could feel her foot

Nothing really. I don’t even know I was having contractions bc they feel just like Braxton hicks. I almost had the baby at home she came so quick!

I had pelvic/groin pain from my MH contractions but didn’t realize they were contractions
