I had a lot lot lot of BH the few days before. My son had dropped a lot and I just kind of knew it was about that time. We were getting ready to go to dinner reservations and I suggested we should put the hospital bag and car seat in the car and not 5 minutes into the ride I had my first contraction.

Yes, it's a little tmi, but the day I went into labor, I was donig some stretching (just finished doing a bike ride on the recumbent bike) and all of a sudden I had to go #2, like running to the bathroom! I know that is really gross, but I remember reading somewhere that your body can do stuff like that because it is trying to flush everything out to get ready for labor.

I had my waters leak with no contractions at 10pm.  I didnt see a doctor till 7 am the next morning.  I never had any contractions until they started pitocin, and broke my second bag of waters. Never knew you could have two bags?  It was kinda nice because I got a full nights rest before going in. But the inducing was not fun. Being at 5cm for a week before, I knew it was going to happen soon.

I didnt. I just hurt. I wouldn't dialate so they induced me but other than that it was pretty normal.
