hi all, with my first i got induced after 7 days being over due.  So i dont know what its like to go into real labor. My this 2nd pregnancy, my due date was moved up to may 28th. With 2 weeks to go i am getting alot of cramps & alot of discomfort everytime i walk- never felt like this with 1st. I am also carrying a boy so my belly is very different & heavier. Was your 2nd labor very different or similiar?

  • Also on my second but with my first I went into labor in the middle of the night. Labored in the bath when the contractions weren't too bad but a bit painful then moved to bouncing on my yoga ball after. It was very slow labor (total being 36 hours)for me but since it's your second things should be quicker. Just labor at home till contractions are 5 minutes apart and one minute long. Relax, sleep if you can and eat something light. The contractions feel like a tightening then they will progress to menstrual cramps and then very painful. Hope this helps not sure exactly what you were curious about but that's my experience I had the first time.
