Never know what to expect with your first Spontaneous. I remember when I was going through pre-labour with Harry, my sister who was due around the same time popped up and asked me how she would know she was in labour. At this point in time I had no idea her first was induced and kind of asked her how she wouldnt know! LMAO. The majority of women get plenty of warning so your DP should make it home and get you to the hospital in time, but dont head off too soon. Wait until you are totally sure and it comes hard and fast when you are not moving as well as moving around. If you are bent over in pain and find king kong grip - time to go have a baby!
