Yet another ? for Moms with Outside Babes

MrsDrCook

I'm a week away from my DD and for the most part I feel pretty good... When I do have BH they seem to be a little stronger than before and I do believe I have lost some of my mucous plug but ultimately I feel too "normal" for being so close to having this baby.  My question is whether or not you felt like the days leading up to going into labor were a progression or whether your symptoms/contractions came on suddenly. TIA!

I felt nothing in the few days before I had DS. Even the day before I had him I was perfectly fine. No symptoms that I was about to go into labor ina few hours. My contractions came on suddenly and in full force.

So far this time DD is being pretty stubborn. I had PTL at 33wks and then this past Sat I had another false labor bout that just stalled into nothing. Its going to be a long 2 wks.

I'm not much help because I had an emergency delivery, but from what I understand, every person is different. Good luck!

I only had "symptoms" for 2 days before and even then I didn't believe that it was going to happen that week.  On Monday morning I started having cramping and light bloody discharge.  By Tuesday night I was in labor and on Wednesday DD was born.  As late as Monday I was telling people that I thought that I would be overdue.  I felt too good to be in the late stages of pregnancy.

Apart from losing my mucus plug over the 10 days prior, I didn't have any contractions or other symptoms until the day I went into labor.
