When did you know your about to give birth?

So this is my 2nd pregnancy.
First one, my water broke before contractions hit at 37w3d (which i hear only happens to 10% of pregnancies).
This go around, the entire pregnancy has been different from the first. As of right now, at 35w4d, I have no idea if what's going on down there is mucus plug break or just discharge. Definitely not a water break. Also for 2 days in a row when I wipe my butt there is wet poo like diarrhea though I havent shat recently so idk what up with that. 🤔
When did yall know you were about to give birth? The first time i just lucked out and my water broke and we went to the hospital right then. 🤷‍♀️

Contractions getting closer together and a general feeling of illness like my stomach was not quite right and I felt off. Vibes 😭 that was 17 years ago though💀hard to be sure I'm not missing anything.

I was induced last pregnancy for high BP so that all came after my oxytocin drip.

Are you having any contractions at all? Feeling baby move alright? If you feel sick generally it's worth going in for a check to see if you're getting near. FWIW I lost my mucus plug 3 weeks or so before I went into labor with BOTH my pregnancies so 🤷🏽‍♀️

I was in work and had really bad lower back ache which I put down to the awful office chairs at the time. I was pretty grumpy and went to the loo twice for a poop which was not my normal schedule at all. My boss just took one look at me and said I was in labour, I called up my obstetrician, walked to the hospital around the corner and she was born that night. Apparently when hooked up to the machines I was having contraction waves but I couldn’t really tell. No water break, no mucus plug, just back ache and a dicky tummy. That was 38+2.

I was 40 weeks & 3 days pregnant. First I lost my mucus plug. Then every two hours when I used the restroom there was pink slim. I started cramping and having back pains and then a few hours later my water started to break lol but everybody experience may be different just make sure to pay attention to your body and signs it’s what I did

My May baby decided to come early 👶🏻

When they say your second one is usually faster they seriously weren’t lying (in my case) my waters broke spontaneously yesterday at 6:45am and my sweet sugar cube made his dramatic entrance later that day at 16:15pm at 36+5 & I’m so in love 🥰

Good luck to the rest of the mummies, you’re nearly there 🩷

What did you do? It’s my second child but I was lucky the first time and never experienced this 😭

Would you take a 12 week old baby to a party with very loud music indoors?

Husbands family is throwing a party inside (their house is very tiny) and they have a big speaker and play super loud music.
