How did you feel in the days before you went into labor?

I never went into labor with my last pregnancy...it was a scheduled C at 39 weeks. I have a scheduled C this time around too, but have been feeling not so great.

Just curious. Thanks!

Re: How did you feel in the days before you went into labor?

I felt great- energetic and I got so much done- I cleaned the whole house top to bottom, set-up the crib with the bedding, washed the laundry.

eta- and I was hungry- I ate quantities of food that were obscene

I actually felt fine. Worked until the day before my water broke. Would have continued to work but I had a dr. appointment. Went shopping, walking, had no inclination it was going to happen.

i felt great
i had stopped working for almost 2 weeks (bc of my commute not bc i wasnt feeling well) but i spent the time meeting friends for lunch, organizing, cooking dinner for DH when he got home from work etc. Up until the day i went into labor i was living my normal life and feeling great

I felt sick and extra tired. The day my water broke, I was up most of the night with symptoms similar to a stomach virus.

Re: How did you feel in the days before you went into labor?

I felt fine. I mean just uncomfy because I was peeing every 5 minutes and I had this shooting pain down my leg that would literally fell me in my tracks while walking and once stranded me on the toilet because I couldn't stand up
But I didn't feel sick, off, nauseous, didn't have the runs, nothing that others describe.
I just started having some odd pains- which were irregular contractions one day- and the next day they were more regular and painful and i went to the hospital.
But I had no real precursors to labor.

I was exhausted. Like could barely move exhausted.

Re: How did you feel in the days before you went into labor?

I didn't feel good, I was having contractions every 15-20 minutes 24 hour prior to going into labor. So I knew it was coming soon.

Re: How did you feel in the days before you went into labor?

not very different than i had since i was about 37 weeks - tired and slow moving but no other symptoms. i went into labor on my due date (a sunday) and that saturday before I swore the baby wasn't coming for another week!

How did you feel in the days before you went into labor?

I felt like complete and utter CR*P!!!! I had stomach pains (not contractions though) and just wanted to stay in bed all day. I found out that night that my water broke almost 24 hours before that and I didn't know (I had a slow leak).

I felt like DS could drop out at any moment. I was 3 weeks early so it was a complete surprise

Re: How did you feel in the days before you went into labor?

The night before I felt great! We had friends over and I was convinced the baby wasn't coming any time soon.
The morning my water broke I felt lazy. I was going to take my kids to a St patty's day parade. Just as I was telling my dh that I didn't want to go...my water broke!

Re: How did you feel in the days before you went into labor?

I felt great. Had a play date with a friend and never knew it was coming. I think she was more shocked when I texted her less than 24 hours later to say he was here! I was 9 days early and he was my 3rd.

Re: How did you feel in the days before you went into labor?

I felt awful! The day before I went into labor I barely left the couch and was too tired to move.
