With my first it was contractions (spaced apart and mild but got closer together and stronger), with my second I lost my mucus plug and then contractions, with my third I had contractions for weeks but then I started passing blood clots, not blood tinged mucus plug but full on blood clots! It was scary! I passed them with every 2-3 cm I dilated.
First daughter I had no idea. I was 2 days overdue and went to my Dr appt, he checked my cervix and sent me right upstairs. Apparently I was 8 cm and didn't feel a thing!
Second daughter I felt like I had to poo. I went to the Dr, also overdue and he told me a lot of people feel that when they are going into labor. He checked my cervix and I was 6cm and sent upstairs again I felt no discomfort or contractions.
Third daughter is still baking but I have gone into preterm labor twice and both times I felt completely normal and pain free. I did notices this time I felt a change in her movements. She seems to stop wiggling when I am in labor.
