HOW DID YOU FEEL BEFORE YOUR LABOUR STARTED?
hello ladies!
ive had strong and painfull (sometimes regular) braxton hicks since 32 weeks and i havent had a show so i know im not in labour.
last night i had annoying twinges in my pelvis ALL night and have had a few thismorning, theres no tightning across my bump when i get one, theyre very low down in my pelvis, some are like 'shocks' and others like a 'squeeze' im getting these alongside BH and have noticed (sorry if tmi) a bit more discharge than normal but no blob of goo which i no can be your show
however, all the people ive spoken to say there labours started with contractions but as ive had them for a while would like to know how else you felt before your show/waters breaking?

I felt fine! I woke up for a wee in the night, got back in bed then I thought I'd weed myself, but it was my waters going. Half an hour later got the pains and lily came VERY quickly!
During the day though I was very quiet (according to my mum) and I felt ok, quite calm, a litle back ache but that was all. I was not expecting to go to bed and wake up with a baby the next morning.

with my 4th baby i just started to get contractions during the night , which woke me up, i had a show mid morning, then had my baby the following morning. with my other 3 i was induced with high blood pressure.
it is hard with your first baby to know if it is labour, my mum said all along that with my first i was in early labour with my back ache but i thinkl i was in denial. lol.
good luck.xxx

With my 3rd I was about to go out the door to take my older 2 to school and nursery and felt a trickle (so about 8.30 am) then didn't have any pains and had a lovely morning walking around the house (it was a home birth), phoning friends etc then had a wonderful sleep for an hour or so before I had a massive gush in the study as I stood up at about 2.30. The contractions came thick and fast again and my daughter was born in the birthing pool at home at 6.03pm.
They say every labour is different but my last 2 when I went into labour on my own were very similar and fortunately quite fast xx
I had a show 2 weeks prior!
I think everyone is very different.
My waters broke at 7.30 in the morning, and all through the night i was getting low back pain and tightenings across my stomach. but they werent strong enough that they left me breathless, but stronger than what i had felt before. so i got up in the morning and my waters broke, went into hospital but i hadnt actually started contracting the pain had totally stopped! so i was sent home and they started properly at 3.00am the next morning.
Baby jake was born 12.35pm the next day now 5 weeks old! time flies! xx
Funny thing was we had to ignore the fact hubby had, had 3 pints as we had no other way of getting to hospital. He was fully in control though and did 100mph all the way there - or else I think she'd have arrived in the car!!
Good luck!
