How Did You Feel Before You Started Labor?

mynewbug · September 2013

My husband and I are due this Friday the 20th with our first child! I am curious to know how you felt right before you started to go into labor. Did your stomach feel upset? Any shooting sensation in your hoo-ha region? Did you feel the urge to nest intensify? Any big busts of energy? Other than contractions, bloody show, the true tale signs; were there other less obvious signs of labor on its way that you experienced? I know everyone's experience varies greatly, but I was wondering about the various signs of labor you have experienced.

I had a few days of losing my mucus plug, back pains and a lot of pressure ....I also had 12 hours of insane back labor after that w contractions

Lots of back and hip pain, lots of irregular contractions.

we are also waiting on LO coming. I had no real warning the day before or anything. Went into labor overnight (very early morning) with not-so-bad early labor contractions starting off about 15 min apart.

I had lost most of my mucus plug weeks earlier but then saw bright red bloody show off and on for two days before labor. Otherwise I felt normal. I went for a two mile walk two days before and again the day that I started labor.

It was an ordinary day and I felt like I would be pregnant forever. Went to bed like usual and woke up at 1 am with horrible contractions

missyrad · September 2013

Lots of aching pressure down there days up to my bag breaking

I felt pretty normal. I had cramping and contractions on and of, but that had been happening for a while. Woke up at 2:00 a.m. with contractions that were very painful.

<<Also due Friday! Good luck to all you ladies!

Fun Fact: There is a full moon this Thursday, called the "Harvest Moon" but is actually the last full moon of the Summer Season (and the 4th - which is an oddity). Not sure if any of you all play into the moons and tides, but could possibly mean the meeting of some precious babies!

I felt really hungry. Ate 2 slices of pizza and cookies at 11:30pm. Other than that, nothing. Woke up at 3am with horrible period pains which ended up being contractions and my "bloody show."

Didn't feel any different. Went to bed, woke up and my water had broken.
