Were you tired? Full of energy? Hungry? No appetite? Headaches? Aches? Cramps? Diarrhea?
Were you late,early,on time? Did dr sweep your membranes?or did you try try to start labor yourself? Did it work? Lol
Anything and everything!

I am having a killer headache today and bit period like cramps! Im hoping the headache is some sort of change in hormones.... lol

Treksy... Hope You Get Your Vbac. With My First I Went To Work, Out For Lunch With A Friend, Then Back Home To Work Some More... Felt Great. Went To Wake Up My Hubby For Work And As Soon *** I Sat On The Bed To Wake Him My Water Broke. Contractions Pretty Quick After That. And Shortly After Getting To Hospital, An Emergency C-Section.

ThisTime I'm 34 Weeks And Scheduling C-SectionCuz Was Told Would Most Likely End In Emergency Section If Not Planned. Another Emergency With No Hubby In Room Didn't Sound Good To Me Lol

With both my previous pregnancies I felt really tired the days before, on the day both times I woke up about 7am and felt my waters buldging and quick ran to the toilet and my waters broke. Labor didnt start with my first so I was induced because of risk of infection and my second I got to the hospital an hour after my water broke and I was already 6cm dialated!  :)

I was tired the day before but that was mostly due to the fact that we were in the hospital the previous night. I lost my plug and had some spotting so we went in to have it checked, at the time I didn't know it was my first.  The morning my water broke, I literally rolled over in bed from one side to the other and my water broke 12 days before my due date.   I felt completely normal besides the towel i had to walk with...that was interesting.

With my 1st day before I was super tired then next day I was full of energy and that night my water just broke unfortunately it had to happen during my mother's bday party in front of more than 20 people (embarrassing) then contractions started back to back within 15 minutes after water broke. With my 2nd I felt contractions for a few days before but they didn't hurt woke up morning o my 37 week appointment feeling energetic went to appt and was 5cm got sent to hospital induced 10hrs later because I was still 5cm and was still stuck there she didn't come til almost 36hrs after they induced me,worst pain ever. Had my 1st no pain meds 2 nd I was screaming for epidural. Done told doctor there is no way I'll ever let them induce me again,.

My cervix never dilates or thins so i went into labor early morning water broke at 41.5 weeks same thing this time dr said unless my water breaks im not having this baby before my scheduled section bc my cervix is stubborn and at my last appt he said id be very unlikely id have a successful vbac id probably end up csection anyway. I know you are trying for vbac and i hope you can get things rolling.

I didn't feel anything out of the ordinary the day before but I was super tired so I went to bed early and woke up in the very early morning hours in labor.
