how did you feel the day you went into labour

[Mum2SweetCs]

I had no signs leading up to it. Infact, on the night of my labour (which was 1 day before i was estimated to be due), we went bowling.

I was demonstrating to my brother's gf how she should bowl, and bending my knees, I fell on all FOURS!!!!

That night, I felt contractions and a little bleeding and then went into a very very long labour!

The best feeling of it all and of the world, was meeting your little one after 9 whole months!!

Best of luck =)

Same as snacks, I was really restless and anxious all afternoon. DH kept asking me if I had 'ants in my pants' cos I couldn't keep still! Also had a really huge appetite and craved carbs - think my body was preparing for an onslaught! Had my first contraction at around midnight and realised I was probably in labour a couple of hours later.

I was really out of it, and felt quite disconnected from everyone, like Cass said. I put it down to the really big week I'd just had, and being tired. I had my baby shower in the afernoon, and it was like I was on drugs or something. I did everything in slow-mo, I just couldn't hurry myself up. Apparently I was very flushed all day too. Strangely enough, I had less BHs than usual that day, from memory.

That evening the tears started (for no apparent reason), and just as I'd cheered up a bit, after two hours of crying (poor DH!) my waters broke. Cx started exactly one hour later, baby born 14 hours later, 5 weeks early.
