Labour with 2nd baby
Hi! Looking to see what experiences you had with early labour, if any? I’m 37 weeks along with my second baby, but feeling like it’ll be here sooner than due date… at my doctors yesterday she said it was super low, couldn’t even measure the belly anymore cause it’s so low pushing on the cervix. 1cm dilated. She offered for me to come and do a sweep next week but I said I wanted to wait a bit. But the last few days I’ve had bouts of nausea, feeling just very off and anxious, more heartburn than usual. Wondering what you experienced with early labour?

My second came a week earlier than my first. First baby was born 39+6, second baby 38+6. Went into labor with a huge gush of blood on Thursday night, early labor about 24 hrs then gave birth early Saturday morning.
My second came at 36+2 weeks. Laying in bed watching TV one minute, felt like a balloon was deflating and suddenly a massive gush of water! Went in Wednesday night and baby arrived Thursday afternoon! I remember the anxious feeling a day or two before and just feeling very tired generally.
My first baby was born at 40+1, definitely a big difference in timing!
Had first baby 38 + 1, second 35 + 1. Water broke at 35 weeks out of nowhere, no indication of early labor.
My first came at 32 weeks; water broke completely out of the blue. I am now 29 weeks with my second and so scared everytime I leave the house that this can happen at any moment 😅 I’d like to keep this one baking longer but they never figured out why my first came so early so I have absolutely no indication of whether to expect that again
Baby no. 2 for me came at 37 +3 weeks, I didn't have any obvious signs except slowly losing my plug and what we weren't sure of Braxton hicks or contractions, it was slow labour from about 36 weeks so bad period like pains and the plug loss ☺️ x
