    Labour..

    I'm just curious to those who have been through it..
    What changed in the last few days leading up to the labour? Did the braxton hicks get really bad? Did your bowels keep emptying themselves.. Or Nothing and then BAM - you were in labour?

    ..yes I'm going to keep bugging everybody until I have this little one

    Labour..

    I kept running to the loo, bh would start in the early hours of the morning and continued longer and longer and also got closer together each day and I just knew something was happening not just bh anymore. For me this was at 35 weeks, was put on meds to try and stop it but the same pattern continued until my waters broke at 37 weeks.

    #1 - Nothing .. then waters broke.
    #2 - Nothing ... then got contractions.
    #3 has dropped noticably and the wriggling so low is uncomfortable, but we'll see

    I went 2 weeks over and was induced, had no real changes beforehand that I can think of. Hope you find the secret

    I felt 'weird' the day before. Nauseous and a light headache. Just an off feeling. Then was quite stiff in the back that night. Went to bed at about 10.30, woke at 2.30 and had to do a TMI ... number 2... (i never ever go during the night, so this was weird for me), first contraction was felt at 3.00am!!

    Hope its soon for you!
