you'll know my dear.. there will be no mistaking it when you're in labor.. for me it was pain I couldn't sleep through, pain that kept me awake and pain that got worse when walking and to the point I had to breathe through them.. if you've tried tylenol, a bath, changing positions, and it's getting worse as time goes, it's likely labor. my first few contractions felt like I had to go to the bathroom.. i was literally on the toilet 4-5 times pushing and nothing coming out before I realized what it was haha.. you'll know.

expect period like cramps but alot worse, some womens water brake, some have no contarctions at first just bleeding, you will have lower back pains... there are just different signs to look for but when you are in real labor oh you will know Good luck and congratulations
