I've always wondered, when you go into labor does it come out of no where or does it slowly happen

it comes in all shapes and sizes

mine came out of nowhere

mine slowly happend. i should have known it was happening but i didnt realize it until looking back on it. i pretty much slept a day, only got up to pee, it hurt to walk and i felt sick. i started getting really intense contractions when my bf got home from work and then i had her that night.

mine just happened . i woke up and bam , labor .

@tlw1596, @princesssskxo can you describe what happened?

i woke up in god aweful pain . my contractions were 20 min apart . i went and did not even an hour of housework and they went stronger to 6 minutes and i walked one lap and i started leaking and contractions were 2 minutes apart .

@princesssskxo, I'm so ready, I just feel like labor is years away for me😂

I woke up to what felt like pee slowly trickling out I stood up to go to the bathroom and I soaked my clothes and the floor, contractions in the form of back pain started thirty minutes after that, I was in denial so I waited two hours to go to the hospital, by then it was unbearable and within two hours at the hospital I delivered

@tlw1596, oh wow...😳💙

i was almost 40 weeks and in so much pain all i did was cry . my advice to you is to labor as long as you can handle at home . my midwife told me to and i was like bitch youre crazy . but i took a shower and got everything ready and by then my contractions were unbearable . i still went natural up until my c section but i just know my body and just knew i needed to get there .

@princesssskxo, I'm group b strep so I need 4 hours in advance to get the antibiotics I needs before I can push😞 so I'm nervous I won't have time

oh damn . yeah , i didnt have to deal with that . well , i was told originally to go when they were 5 minutes apart but when i finally gave in they were 2 .

I waited until mine were four minutes apart, I'm glad I didn't wait until they were two, because my contractions were never two minutes apart lol @princesssskxo @kaileenicole16

lmfao . i dialated really fast after my water was fully broken . @tlw1596

Lol I feel ya, I got to the hospital at 6:30 am and delivered before 9:00am
