Just before you went into labour, how did you feel?
I just wondered what your 'symptoms' were. Did you feel more tired than normal? Energetic? Did it start with cramps? Or the nesting instinct? I just wonder how you felt a day or even a few hours before labour started.

Both times i just did not feel right, i cant even explain it, i just knew i did not feel right, i was aching i could not get comfy i was grouchy and my back hurt like hell, and it felt different to all the pregnancy aches and pains i had for the last 40 weeks, and both times within 24 hours of that i was in labour.

I had my son at 41 weeks. I felt no difference from any other time in the pregnancy. Was trying most things to start labour. Went for a long walk (2 hours) and my waters broke 4 hour later. Baby head was engaged which made me wobble when walking. After the walk I felt different cant explain how just felt calm and relaxed.

Sleepy because I woke up at 4:30 Am with contractions. The day before i felt pretty good. It was a nice fall day and my older son and i went to the park. He rode his bike and i walked. He then played on the play ground. It started with radiating period like lower back pains that radiated through my hips. That's how is stayed other than intensifying and coming closer together.
The first 3 hours of my labor i didn't think it was really labor. I thought it would end up tapering out and going away so i waited to wake my SO until 730 and my LO was bon at 10:14

I didn't have any symptoms that indicated that I was about to go into labor. I was tired, but I was 40 weeks pregnant, so I wasn't any more tired than usual. I was trying to get the laundry finished up because my mom was coming the next day and then I went to the grocery store and my water broke in the parking lot.

This last pregnancy I noticed about a week before labor I kinda lost my appetite. My energy level was about the same, I "nested" but that was for like a month before delivery. Once the contractions started getting closer, lasting loger, and getting more intense I knew I was in labor.

I was 8 days over due and had a stretch and sweep done at 11am. I was already 1cm and me and my partner went for a walk around town to see my old work friends. I felt completely normal.
I got home five hours after having the sweep done and I started have period type aches and pains. So I changed straight in to comfy clothes because I just knew it was labor because the pains started getting stronger and stronger and were so regular.
You 'just' know it's labor when you start getting them aches.

2 Weeks prior, I got very sick. I had a fever of 101 for two weeks up until I gave birth. I.V.'s didn't help and neither did Tylenol.
My water broke the night before I was supposed to be induced. I didn't know it. lol. That varies for everyone, too. A little could trinkle out all the time or it could all goosh out or none at all.
After my water broke, it got to the point where I couldn't sleep anymore because the pain was so bad.
It varies for everyone, though. One of my aunts got energetic before she gave birth.
