My first signs of labor were tons of increased watery discharge. I actually thought my water broke, I went to the hospital, the test was negative and then they did a cervix check... I was not at a 1 and was 39+4 and on the way home from the hospital I got one or two contractions that just felt different. Then I drifted my attention away from them and then 1 hour later I was in early labor getting back labor contractions about every 10-15 minutes and finally got closer and closer and went to the hospital 19 hours later and had my son 10 hours after that! (: but watery discharge was my first red flag that something was changing. I got Braxton hicks at like week 13 so those didn't help much. Lol. Goodluck
For a month I had been having false labour contractions, bl00dy painful!, then two days before I went into labour I couldn't keep anything down, not even water so had to go in for an anti-sickness injection.
The day I went into labour, went into labour 12 30am 24th September, which is when my waters broke, I kinda of just looked at myself in the mirror and came to terms with the fact that I was about to become a mother, I felt calm after that, next morning at 8 20am I had my beautiful little boy in my arms :)
Proud Mother of a 9 month old gorgeous boy :)
My feet have been swollen today and I haven't even been on them for long . There so swollen they itch.
The week before I have birth I was kind of tired and felt run down, my back hurt and I woke up to pee every 30 minutes. But nothing other than that, then one morning I woke up at 5 am with contractions
I'm due next week too and I have back pain and contractions as well but they don't feel that painful. I don't want to get induced tho so hope she gets here on time
