Where were you when you went into labour?

[Sterla]

Just curious about where you were when you went into labour. Were you home, out shopping... any funny stories?

[Mumma&Bubba(s)]

My story is exceptionally boring but I went into labour after a beautiful sleep at 630am, DH had a shower whilst I packed my bags during the contractions - off to the hospital and DS was born at 1130am Back in our comfy bed that night at 10pm and DS slept all through the night We couldn't believe it when we woke up to the quiet bassinett next to us, we panicked at first but then he yawned - so cute!

Good luck with your birth! I hope you're as lucky as I was!

With DS1 I was at home, it was late afternoon and we had just DTD when I started to get very strong braxton hicks which wouldn't go away so I called the hospital as I was only 31 weeks and they told me to come in. I was in early labour and hypertensive so they kept me in hospital and he was born at 32 weeks.

With DS2 I was at the movies watching Shrek the Third in the afternoon when I started to get a lot of lower back pain. That night after cooking dinner and just about to sit down to it I felt a huge wave of nausea come over me and new it was time!

Good luck.

I was at home in bed both times. (Not very interesting sorry ) Bizarrly (is that a word?) I went into labour at exactly 4am both times!

I was at home both times. With DD1 I had MIL and SIL over helping to clean up the house as I was booked for induction that day, but I didn't need the induction. With DD2 I started getting irregular contractions while DD1 was up. It didn't step up to active labout until she was fast asleep for the night and when I was up to 5 minutes apart and 1 minute long we called the ILs and headed to the hospital.

I felt my first contraction on my due date while walking across the road, I didn't know what it was at the time but it stopped me in my tracks and I actually thought I was going to pee my pants.

1st one I had just gone to bed at midnight 5mins later felt something weird and jumped out of bed felt water running down my leg and just made it to the toilet before it hit the floor (thankfully not a bit on the bed) arrived at hospital at 1am absolutely drenched waddling in to maternity very thankful that at 1am there was only a couple of midwives to see me

2nd one was really worried about water breaking again but didn't need to as I felt first contractions at about 6:00am started to be regular and painfull at about 10:30am water didn't break until end of transition I stood up and she was out in a flash.
