What are some "symptoms" u feel just before labor besides the obvious like water breaking? Maybe some stuff u didn't think of at the time, but was like "oh yeah" when u thought back?

With my first I slept through most of it....when I finalky woke up and got to the hospital I was 3cm! With my second I was felt sick...walked to my bathroom and for some reason I just stood there facing the sink. Next think I knew I was vomiting everywhere...all over my poor sick. I tried to call for my hubby but I couldn't stop vomiting. I started to band on the wall with my hand til he finally came to check on me! (Sorry if I grossed anyone out)

I had what they called the contraction belt with my first and I kept saying he feels like he's gonna fall out n no one was listening to me!  Well they night before getting admitted I was up packing n finishing up his room n everything and had very bad pain going from middle of my back out around my hips to my front... Got to the hospital next morning after a sleepless night and I was in labour.

I felt cramps. Like when you're on ur period but 10 times worse...lower back cramps.
And pressure down there. Then the contractions kicked in and they literally would stop me in my tracks. That's how I knew it was time to go. Was 5 cen Dialated when I got to the hospital

Its so nerve racking. Ill feel something like pain, pressure, uncormfotableness, etc, then it goes away after a few mins... I wish I knew what to expect... One of life's true mysteries!

With 2 of my kids I didn't have anything but woke up one day with bleeding and then contractions started.  With my last baby I had it all! And I mean all! Diarrhea, nausea, back pain , pressure ect ect

I didn't have any at all I was sitting on my leather couch (thank god it was leather) and I thought I was peeing myself when really my water broke. I didn't feel really anything until I was checked in the hospital and I got my epi. My belly was getting tighter but I can't recall that it was extremely painful.  I did feel a little out of it like tired but nothing extreme. Good luck to you. ♡ ♡ ♡
