I woke up to my DD (in utero!) going crazy, kicking everywhere and wriggling (as much as she could in that tight space). DH and I laughed at how she kicking so much. i remember thinking it was strange, but wasnt concerned.

Then i started to feel a bit anxious mid-morning. i HAD to plant my seedlings that i bought the day before and I remember telling DH that maybe he shouldnt go to soccer. but then i told him to go because i was just being silly and emotional (i was 38 weeks so had no reason to believe that DD was coming).

At around 2pm i got really really tired so went back in the house and had a snooze and started watching a midday movie. i noticed that DD was very quiet and hadnt moved for awhile. i remember trying to get her to move and occassionally i would get a disgruntled nudge or movement out of her LOL!

and at 4pm on the dot, my waters broke. i have to say that my reaction at first wasnt shock, as i think deep down i knew that it was going to happen that day. was peeved that i didnt listen to myself and had DH go to soccer though!

So in summary:

1.) nesting hit an all time high (gardening for me). it was no longer the wishing to have it done, i HAD to do it, to the point where i was quite fretful at the thought of it not being done then and there.

2.) DD went a bit beserko (i think from the early contractions - which i thought were BH but must have been deeper for her to react to them).

3.) DD going really quiet

4.) gut feeling that all was happening...trust your sub concious.


HTH.
