What were you doing when you went into spontaneous labour?

I was asleep!

I was at work with my first 🤣 thought my work chair was causing back ache and I was just extra grouchy that morning. My colleague kept staring at me and then said “I don’t mean to worry you but you sound like my wife did when she was in labour”. Turns out I was making low noises and the whole team (nearly all dads) were on edge 🤣 Called my husband, walked to the hospital nearby and was plugged in for monitoring. Turns out I was in labour and she was born that night

I was on the toilet haha, I was like hm did my water just break or did I pee again involuntarily

I felt unwell the whole day. A bit unsettled and tired. I also had a bit of pink discharge, but I had that before, so I wasn't too worried (mucus plug can go off). Then during the night I needed to pee, but when I sat up a bit of water came out. It got more and more every minute, when I walked around in the house to get dressed. Was another 30ish hours until the actual birth though and I also didn't got lot of sleep the night before 😬

I was sleeping when the contractions started and i didn’t even know they were contractions cuz it started in my back. And then about 18 hours later my water broke and conveniently i was in the shower lol

I was bowling on the afternoon, gave birth that night 😂

Waters don’t always break until in labour!
I was about to settle down to sleep for the night, last wee before sleep and bloody show when wiping, contractions started from there!

I was asleep - but that day I had put all the Christmas decorations up by myself and went for a really long walk in the evening.
I’m convinced that’s why she came two weeks early 🎄
