In hindsight, the day I went into labour I had some pretty obvious signs. As you may or may not know, I had my baby shower in the afternoon, and my waters broke at 9pm, contractions starting at 10pm. I felt a little 'off' all day, but I assumed it was because I'd had such a big week with my foot! By afternoon I was a bit of a mess, everyone kept asking me if I was alright, apparently I was quite flushed too. I felt like I was in slow mo all afternoon, opening my presents was a real challenge, it just seemed really hard. I was also very concious of everyone looking at me, which normally I wouldn't fuss about at all! Very tired all day too.
By 6pm I just wanted to cry (for no reason) and by 7pm I was, big crocodile tears LOL! Poor Andy didn't know what to do with me. I perked up a bit about 15 minutes before my waters broke.
So yes, looking back, there were some big signs there.
