How do I know if I'm in labor? My mom didn't know she was in labor until she was 8cm and then couldn't get the epidural. She had no signs & so did my my aunt so it worries me.
You would know when you start feeling cramps(contractions). The feeling is very similar to menstrual cramps. At least that's how it was for me. But it was very bearable so I didn't think I was in labor until I went to my apt and I was already 4cm and in active labor.
If your having contractions your entire belly will get really tight and hard. Even if you can't feel it you can see it.
