Re: question for btdt moms

My bff told me that early in the day she suspected she was in labor bc she felt painful contradictions but very far apart. . HTH

Re: question for btdt moms

Nope and I was 8 days late.

Went to bed and woke up from a dead sleep to a contraction!

only thing was the day before i lost my mucous plug.

Re: question for btdt moms

My water never broke (hospital broke it for me) but i labored at home, no induction.
Woke up at 445am with what felt like really dull period cramps. so i stayed up to track them. eventually they were every 5 mins (after like 4 hrs of just laying there)

The night before DH and i went to dinner, came home and I forced him to install the car seat base. Dont know why, I was only 36w. Then later that night i looked at the clock and it was 11:11pm so i made a wish that i'd go into labor soon cause i was SO uncomfy. just a mere 4.5 hrs later, labor appeared

Re: question for btdt moms

I had no contractions at all. I woke up at 530 am at 41 weeks to my water breaking. Shortly after, I lost plug and bloody show started. But.. I was very nauseous the night before - I just felt 'off'.

Re: question for btdt moms

thanks ladies, lost my mucus plug late friday/saturday, but I always feel terrible at night like period cramps and back pain, buy nothing consistant

Re: question for btdt moms

The only thing that stood out for me was ds was less active the day I went into labor. He had been very active morning, noon and night until that day. I had a regular appt. that morning and mentioned it to my dr. I was sent for a NST and I was only having minimal contractions on the monitor, I couldn't even feel them. My water broke at home that night and my ds was born the next morning.

Re: question for btdt moms

yes - i had tremendous hip pain all morning/afternoon. not a general soreness, but an actual burning pain like someone was grabbing my hips and ripping them apart (east/west). I had NEVER had that pain before.

My water broke at 5:30 that afternoon.

Re: question for btdt moms

My water broke at home when I was in bed at 10pm. I definitely absolutely felt off that whole day prior. I was really lethargic that day and had some major bathroom issues...

Re: question for btdt moms

Mine was pretty unexpected. I woke up and just felt weird cramping took a shower and realized that the pains were coming and going and maybe they were contractions. That was how it started.
