If you went into labor early (before your EDD)...
Please tell me:
1 - what # DC was it for you
2 - how many days/weeks before your EDD did you go into labor
3 - any clue you might go early (feeling contractions, feeling sick, etc) or did it totally catch you off guard?
I am only 34 weeks and yes already getting impatient LOL but this my third, cut me some slack!

Re: If you went into labor early (before your EDD)...
1 - what # DC was it for you - It was my 1st
2 - how many days/weeks before your EDD did you go into labor - 3 weeks to the day
3 - any clue you might go early (feeling contractions, feeling sick, etc) or did it totally catch you off guard? - it really caught me off guard. The only inkling I got was at a Drs appt earlier in the day they told me my fluids were a bit low but it was not a worry.

Re: If you went into labor early (before your EDD)...
I am just about 30 weeks with my 3rd and I just know I will go early! It's freaking me out, I can't get it out of my head!
Anyway, with my first, he came nearly 3 weeks early, at a whopping 9 lbs 7 oz. Totally unexpected, my water broke while I was sleeping and that was it.
My second came 10 days early. I had period like cramps for a few days and then full on labor hit one night.
Not sure what makes me think I will go early again. I do have high blood pressure, I am on meds for it, and it's still high. I think the stress of always worrying about that, plus my GD, is what makes me think the worst!

Re: If you went into labor early (before your EDD)...
With my first dc, I went into labor six days before my EDD. I was pretty much caught off guard other than a dull backache the day before and of.

Re: If you went into labor early (before your EDD)...

1 - what # DC was it for you
Went early with both DDs
2 - how many days/weeks before your EDD did you go into labor:
was 3w1d early with both DDs
3 - any clue you might go early (feeling contractions, feeling sick, etc) or did it totally catch you off guard?
With my first I woke up with contractions at 445am. I freaked cause I wasn't expecting that (not going early, just being woken up by them lol)
And with my second I was watching a movie with DH and around 10pm I started cramping. Managed to sleep and woke up in the early am with contractions.

Re: If you went into labor early (before your EDD)...
Did you go early or late with your other two? I went late with #1 and #2 and my OB told me that people that tend to overcook tend to overcook. I don't like to rush it, I have easy pregnancies so I don't mind it, but if I was in a hurry for this one to arrive I'd be disappointed!

Re: If you went into labor early (before your EDD)...
Went early with both #1 3 weeks early and #2 almost 7 weeks early. My water broke with both of them. Had slight cramping with DD #1 all day before water broke but with my DS #2 I was totally caught off guard. After my water broke with him, I had to be induced. This is my third and I am freaking out that I will be early as my DR is pretty convinced I am not going full term.

Re: If you went into labor early (before your EDD)...
For DS #1 I went into labor 11 days early
I thought the whole pregnancy I was due earlier than the doc said
And he came fast. Got to the hospital around 7am and he was born at 9:30 am exactly. Hopefully #2 comes just as easy lol

Re: If you went into labor early (before your EDD)...
1 - what # DC was it for you
Number 1
2 - how many days/weeks before your EDD did you go into labor
3 weeks
3 - any clue you might go early (feeling contractions, feeling sick, etc) or did it totally catch you off guard?
I was on bed rest and being monitored for, and eventually had, preeclampsia...never really felt contractions, even when I was hooked up..they weren't ever earth shattering but bronchitis, stress, and being on my feet a lot brought on high blood pressure and preterm labor at 32 weeks...

Late with my first...had to be induced, then had a c/s so my 2nd was a scheduled c/s at 39 weeks. This one is scheduled for 39 weeks as well.
But on the day of my scheduled c/s with my 2nd I was having contractions like I might have gone on my own that day anyway.

Re: If you went into labor early (before your EDD)...
#1- it was my first. a 
#2- I was 38 weeks, so 2 weeks early
#3- no indication at all.
I am now 35 weeks and have been having contractions for a few days. So we'll see what this one does.

Re: If you went into labor early (before ur EDD)...
1 - what # DC was it for you- 1st child
2 - how many days/weeks before your EDD did you go into labor: I went 15 days early. My water broke and than I was in 22 hours of hard labor before finally having a c-sec
3 - any clue you might go early (feeling contractions, feeling sick, etc) or did it totally catch you off guard?
The night before my due date I felt a lot of pressure. I was walking around Target with my dh and I swore to him it was the last time I was going out anywhere. I couldn't take the pressure. The next morning my water broke in bed. I also had a shortening cervix and was only off bedrest for a few days when my water broke.

Please tell me:
1 - what # DC was it for you
DD#2 (DD#1 was at 41 weeks - had to be induced)
2 - how many days/weeks before your EDD did you go into labor
DD#2 was 36weeks,5days - came so quick it was an unintended all natural labor!
3 - any clue you might go early (feeling contractions, feeling sick, etc) or did it totally catch you off guard?
Braxton Hicks contractions on/off for about a week, dropped about 2 weeks prior (although from what I read, you don't drop after the first pregnancy), slow loss of mucous plug for a week with bloody show ~2 days prior.
When I did go into labor, the contractions seemed to come from nowhere and were 5 minutes apart. I was driving on my way to the doctor for a scheduled appt and was admitted right after.
I am only 34 weeks and yes already getting impatient LOL but this my third, cut me some slack!
From my experience, the old saying "every pregnancy is different" is completely true.

Totally off guard - went to my dr appt and she said " um, you're 5-6cm, you need to go to the hospital. How are you not feeling this?"

Re: If you went into labor early (before your EDD)...
It was my first
It was 21 days before my EDD
I had been having contractions but I wasn't even aware of them until the Nurse pointed them out during one of my NSTs. I had Gestational Diabetes so I was monitored once a week. They had me stop working since I was on my feet all day long and they diminished greatly.
My water broke at 2:15am on Tuesday.
Saturday we were at the Oyster Festival. I walked a little bit, but DH had me take breaks often.
Sunday I had a massage.
Monday night we dtd.
Totally not planned, but I feel everything together made me go into labor.

Re: If you went into labor early (before your EDD)...
I was late with DC1. But with DC2 I was 4 days early.
I really had no indication other than BH contractions getting a little more frequent.
Hope you go early this time around.

1 - DC #1
2 - 38w, 6d
3 - I had contractions on and off for a few days and my belly dropped drastically a few days before I went into labor. I also felt a little sick the night before and my mom told me I looked "off" as well.
