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.
@cubanese, I am terrified of not making it to the hospital! /:
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.
i would just be more scared because of giving birth at home... and not with medical attention surrounding me not the pain
@harranmommy, @kaidensmommy thanks ladies! :)
