Pre-Labor Signs

Thanks for the question, wondering the same 💪🏼

My first was natural, I just experienced a lot of tightness in my stomach consistently. It got closer and closer together.

Absolutely no warning signs with both. Contractions will start gradually and pick up in frequency and intensity. You will definitely notice a clear difference between true contractions vs Braxton hicks.

Following

I will say I started having mild contractions on a Friday (I was sent home after a er visit and was told by the doctor on call that she would be here that weekend) and by Sunday she was here

@Sonji my stomach just keeps hardening but i have no pain aside from just feeling like im carrying a boulder, but its been consistently inconsistent.

@Mars yeah that's how it was, they weren't hurting me... I say go get checked if possible.

I felt like I started to nest more towards the end and then the day of I was contracting and also had a bloody show but not to many signs before labor just Braxton hicks days before

@Paula i had BH all night to the point i could only sleep for a few hours off and on. But i also co sleep with my toddler and he had a rough night sleeping as well (which never happens) so i got very little sleep in general🥲
