What does labor feel like?!

im 36 weeks on Tuesday and my dr told me she has the potential to come this week on her own. Just wondering what signs of labor are... She's dropped I can tell, and I was 1.5 cm dilated at my appt last Thursday, now I'm having like menstrual type cramping and my contractions have been coming more often (still just pressure, nothing painful yet, and not more than like 2 or 3 in an hour) I'm already on maternity leave, should I just stay in bed? Hellllllp!!!

I'm wondering the same thing.
I told my husband they should put the bands that allow men to feel what it's like to be in labor on first time mom's so we know what to look for and what we should be feeling lol

Try go for a 30 min walk or if you have a yoga ball bounce up and down on it for about an hour. Also you can try eating a fresh pineapple then going for a walk. Sex, warm bath, raspberry tea
