symptoms of REAL labor?

Bridezilla to beBridezilla to be
in 3rd Trimester

Ive been reading alot lately, getting ready for the "big day", and i have some questions....

 

Are hot flashes a symptom of prelabor or labor? I have been having them for a few days now.

 what about menstrual like cramps? not in any intervals though....prelabor, labor??

 what about increase in discharge?

I'm 37 weeks, and SO READY to be done....I'm miserable. I need to know this is coming soon. lol

    Unfortunately, all of those things can just be pregnancy related, not necessarily labor related.

    Make sure you're hydrating plenty and walk as much as you can!  Have sex! Get a foot massage!  Stimulate your nipples!  If any of these things DO end up being signs of labor, those things will augment them!

    If all of those are signs of labor then I must be in labor RIGHT NOW... at 28 weeks.

    I think it's just pregnancy.

    <sigh> they're just pregnancy symptoms. Each woman is different when it comes to labor. Some have all the aches and pains in the book, and some have very minimal. You're almost there, GL!

    I did not have any false labor.

    Real labor for me was contractions starting 2-4 minutes apart right off the bat. Menstrual type cramps and lower back ache. If it's not coming in a pattern it probably isn't real labor.

    Hang in there - it could be your body getting ready, it could be just regular pregnancy symptoms.  I have found as I have gotten closer to the end this time around that a lot of my first trimester symptoms (nausea, fatigue, hot flashes) have come back!  So close..
