Labour signs -what were yours?

[Karina]

I lost my mucus plug on tuesday. Then woke up on friday morning to little pains in my back every few minutes, which I thought were just braxton hicks. The continued for the next 22hrs. My waters broke in bed the next morning at 1:30am and I began to get contractions 3 minutes apart straight away, and was at hospital being told I was 4cm dialated within about 30-45 mins of waters breaking.

I had no signs at all. No increase in bh contractions or anything like that. I hadn't 'dropped'. I got up to go to the loo friday morning, got back into bed and labour started!! Don't worry about whether anyone says you look ready or not. No body knows when you will go into labour, it is just when your baby is ready!!
