Labour with DD1 was a total surprise. 5am waters broke in bed when I had almost fallen back to sleep.. She was 2 weeks early.
With DD2 I had this dream that she arrived on DD1's birthday, so of course I was on edge in the lead up to DD1's birthday. When that didnt happen I spent the rest of the time freaking out that she would come at any second... Of course in the end she ended up being 8 days over. Must admit once I hit the 40 week mark, I knew things would happen soon, and I spent way too much time freaking out about being induced, or having a c-section.. In the end when labour started I had no idea, and it even took a few contractions before I realised I was actually, finally in labour.
Goodluck, and Im sure which ever way things get started for you, will always be memorable

DD1 - no idea what so ever! Went to bed woke up 30mins later feeling like i constantly needed to go to the toilet - remember reading on here once that your body likes to clear its self out before bub arrives so DH logged me on to BB and i got chatting in the wee hours of the night and wasn't until a few people suggest that maybe i was in labour that it hit home
DD2 - I had just started Uni when i found out i was pregnant (full on first year), and was due 2 days before my last uni exam, worked prac 6days a week when i was 37wks preg! Everyone kept telling me the moment i stop doing things and sit down and relax will be the moment i go into labour.... so i guess i should of know come the morning after my last exam for the year that i was going to go into labour hahahahaha but nope i didn't listen! i woke up, laid on the couch, DH commented and said "Your bored already arn't you?" i said "Yep"! a few minutes later i went to the toilet and Opsy mucus plug... full blown labour a few hours later and DD2 at 2132 that night
