Labor question I'm a ftm and I am just curious, do contractions just come out of nowhere or do they…

It's different for everyone. Some don't experience them until their water breaks. I had Braxton hicks then nothing for 2 days then my water broke and they started an hour afterwards.

I started getting contractions yesterday when they were monitoring baby and they started out of no where

Both. My first they built up for 3 days before it was finally considered active labor. My third I was already dilated to 4cm with no real contractions so when they started they started at full speed.

for me they came out of nowhere ! & also build up getting stronger & stronger.

Did you ladies have any idea labor was going to start soon prior to the contractions? Other than your due dates approaching lol

Mine came out of no where at 5 am in the morning ? lol worst time ever! They were 3 minutes apart lasting 1 minute until I had my daughter. They pretty much stayed the same intensity throughout my whole labor

I had no Braxton Hicks and my water broke 3 weeks before my due date. 5 hours after my water broke I still wasn't having contractions so I was given pitocin to start them up.

nope no idea I just knew I was going to go past my due date lol but I ended up having her 5 days early. like literally the contractions came out of nowhere !!

Thank you ladies! Now I know what to expect!
