What are the First Signs of Labor? Posted: 12-15-07 04:17am
Anyone want to tell me about their first
signs of labor and when they knew it was
time to go into the hospital so I have a
good idea to know when its time for me
please? I'm 38 weeks now and Dr. said I
could pop anyday now. I have a ton of BH
contractions which are uncomfortable and
irregular still but are increasing to more
each passing day. I wonder if I'm real
close to labor. Ive also noticed
headahces, nausea and loose bowel/ mild
diareah in the last 2 weeks also. Anything
I should be on the lookout for? Anything I
should know to distinguish the difference
between true labor and false labor?

Mine first time - (no one tells me what
and how I got to experience it myself
firsthand) was the feeling of going to the
restroom after several time it just
doesn't feel right and there were mucus.
And pain menses like pain it's kinda off
and on, intermitent pain. Then I knew it's
time - 24hours later Dinah was born.

my first signs were the contractions. i
could've waited longer at home, but bobby
got worried and wanted me to go in
my first signs with my son was my water
leaking wich i was unsure about, u feel
like ur peeing or something but you cant
stop it, its clear fluid, unless u see it
tinged brown or something then you need to
head out asap, some peoples water breaks
thats noticable. With my daughter it was
the contractions, they came at even
intervals and got stronger and closer and
then my water broke. Then i headed out to
the hospital. both my labors were really
short though, 6 and a half hrs and 4 hrs.
