Any signs of labour?

On my first pregnancy it went as follows:-

Crippling Back pain the evening before
Period like cramps morning of birth which didn’t really get painful as such and wasn’t timely at all
3pm went to hospital to get monitored was 2cm
3:30pm cramps got worse
4:30pm mucus plug released and sudden urge to push
6:30pm waters broke with baby during birth

Everyone is different, that was my experience first time round

Hoping for the same this time tbh it was stress free and quick 🙃 I’m also feeling absolutely fine atm, with the odd cramp but no ‘signs’ yet

Thank you so much that’s great to know! Can I ask if you felt the baby’s movement until the end?
I would love to have a stress free and quick labour as well☺️ just don’t have any clue as to what to expect but everyone says “you’ll know”😂💖

My first time round I would up at 8 am and had found my mucus plug had released, also felt period like cramps.

Then followed with tightness and contractions the whole day, kept timing them until they were 5 minutes apart and the app told me to get to the hospital. Ended up going at around 10pm was 4cm so got addmitted.

After that my body just got really slow and only became 10cm the following day at 6:30 pm and gave birth at 7pm


Now this time round, im experiencing a lot of contractions and period like cramps but that’s it, I’m timing them but they aren’t consistent enough

Thats interesting, thank you so much for sharing! I’m experiencing period like cramps and tightness as well but not consistent like you! I will start to time them to see if they get consistent ☺️

could also be braxton hicks until you get into labour x

I’ve been having these for weeks and it’s my body’s version of braxton hicks apparently! X

Thank you & I guess I got a bit overly excited 😆 just can’t wait to meet my baby now☺️

@Yumi I bet you can't!! I'm the same, but ended up being induced last night due to lack of movements. X

Second pregnancy and I still can't tell if it's labor or not...iv a high pain hold...but also very in tune with my body...I didn't get lightning croch or hicks with my first ...I'm 38 weeks now and get them everyday there very painful...no loss of plug last time or this time..my csection is booked for 6 days time .I think every woman and pregnancy is different..it'd an anxious wait x

Kelly I wish you all the best with induction 💖💖 not long now for you to meet your baby xx

here's hoping. Pessary not doing an awful lot so far x

I’m with you! It is an anxious wait but you know when it’s happening at least☺️ all the best with your c-section💖💖

I was supposed to be induced next Monday due to small baby and I was told that pessary could take a couple of days before it kicks in!🙃 keeping fingers crossed for you x
