**Great Big Labor Thread for the week of 4/3/17**
Jens_Hoes

As previously agreed upon, we are trying to avoid multiple individual labor threads and questions about labor. Here is the place to talk labor, inductions, worries, fears, and/or questions. I believe we said we'd do it on a weekly basis, someone correct me if I'm wrong
*Idea stolen from O16/J17 and Text from O16* --> EVERYTHING STOLEN FROM FEB17
Post here anything labor related! Really, anything. Whether your water breaks, your contractions are irregular or timetable, you're dilating, you're in pre-term labor or false labor, or even on the way to the hospital! This is the thread for all of that. And also - if anyone has any questions about labor related issues/symptoms/things, post those here too. Not that we are doctors, but some STM and TTM ladies may have experience or advice!

@schnitz9 Oh, I'm sorry for the hospital stay. I hope everything goes well!! Hopefully, you can get someone to bring you some light reading. Sending positives vibes you way ~~~~~
I have a question, are actual labor contractions (mild) ever followed by nausea? Have any of you experienced this? I started to feel something similar to this yesterday.. I am seeing my MW today, but I obviously can't wait for an answer.

they also have me on some pretty intense stuff right now for some severe back pain. So maybe I'll try to entertain you guys
@kat81 So Tuesday, I noticed I started to lose pieces of my mucus plug, then yesterday I started to feel mild back pain followed by nausea-not to the point of throwing up.
I had eaten breakfast, and once these symptoms started I sat down, drank water and ate a banana, but I still felt the pulsing back pain throughout the day..
I did call my MW and she said if it was bearable I could wait to see her today at my weekly appt.
I don't know, I just have a feeling I'll be going into labor sooner than my DD. So, I'd like to know about experiences of the weeks leading up to DD..

I did get nauseous during my really strong contractions before I had an epidural but I feel like that was more from the super intense pain.

@Yiggle09 Interesting! When I looked it up, I found this statement "Flu-like symptoms, including mild nausea and diarrhea, are yet another sign that labor may be imminent" ...
this is why I'm interested in knowing.. I'll be heading in for my appointment soon and I'll deff let you ladies know what my MW says!

it stinks because so many things are just "normal pregnancy symptoms" like nausea and vomiting... basically I think it can happen at any time for any reason during pregnancy and they will say its normal. I think it depends on the other symptoms with it. But let us know what MW says.
