I got up at 5 in the morning to make the hubs coffee. On the way back to the bedroom my water broke a little. I thought I just peed myself lol. Got up 30 minutes later and my water broke ALOT. No other symptoms before that.
I felt fine lol. Was watching tv laying on the couch then all of a sudden I started cramping and it just got worse and worse!
Scared! I was being Induced so I knew he was coming
I actually felt great beside the contractions. I had diarhea for a couple days before and even though i had severe morning sickness in my third trimester, tge day of my labour i felt awesome.
I felt alot like what you are describing. With more period type cramps that turned into contractions. But I had my membranes swept 5 times before going in labor. It sounds like your body is getting ready. Sleep while you can! Like right now lol
