    Our son was born on his due date. First baby, had no idea I was in labor. I started spotting every time I used the rest room. Called Doc and was told to go to hospital to get checked out. Easy labor, in labor for 8 hours, 2 of which I had no clue.

    I went into labor exactly 1 week early, I gave birth 55 hours later (yeah that sucked). My labor only took so long because my daughter wasn't descending into the birth canal properly when the contractions first started so after a lot of walking to get her in the right position. I know I was ready because the contractions woke me up because I hurt. My daughter is the best thing in the world but I won't lie labor hurts it really hurts, but I love epidurals.

    I gave birth when I was 6 days overdue. I woke up on the Sunday morning and went for a pee which is when I lost my mucus plug. After a couple of trips to the hospital and being sent home, spending a lot of time walking around to get labour to progress and breathing and swaying my way through lots of painful contractions, I finally gave birth on the Tuesday morning. I've said all the way through this pregnancy that I wouldn't be surprised if she's as stubborn as her brother and comes a week late but with just under 3 weeks to go, I've been getting achy tightenings (I don't know if they are just BH or not as I didn't have them first time round), also she's dropped even more and I've been getting cramps similar to period pains, backache, I can barely walk (even more so since she dropped more a couple of days ago), can't sit straight, I have to lean to the side a bit because I can feel her when I do sit straight and it sends sharp pains, all the signs of going into labour soon that I had with my son.

    I had my daughter on my exact due date. A few days before I had her I had lost my mucus plug and then I started having contractions so that's how I knew. I didn't know I would have contractions for 3 days straight though! I started having contractions in the middle of the night a few hours after I started losing my mucus plug.

    A week after.

    I knew I was in labor because I couldn't walk through my contractions.

    Different assets have stated there's a larger percent that cross beyond due. In my revel in, three of my peers had there infants three or four days earlier than their due date and I used to be the one who used to be two days beyond due... In the top there is not any technique to wager : (
