I actually didn't think I was going to have my daughter before my due date. I felt normal noyhing was happening. The only sign I had that I might go into labor was that I lost my mucus plug. Other than that I felt normal. Then about 4 days later I started having really bad back pain that I didn't even know was contractions.
Tmi, but i felt like i needed to poop...i had a ton of pressure and cramping. . That was at 1 am. Finally fell asleep but at 7 am cramps got worse. .. Went to the hospital at 8 am, and I was 4 cm dialated. Walked around the hospital for 1 hour to see if i would progress and be admitted. ...And i did. I was rechecked and i was 6 cm...
Long story short, I had my daughter that evening at 4:09 pm.
