I am terrified I won’t know when to go to the hospital or when I’m going into labor 🤦🏼 ♀

You'll know if it's labor just trust your instincts!

Or you could be In active labor alllll day after your appointment and not know it lol hey no one ever said I was the brightest crayon in the box haha. When I saw my midwife that afternoon she said be at l&d at 5 am for induction and have sex the night before. Wellll nope Bentley had other plans I was contracting all day thinking they were bh so around 4 I dropped my oldest off at his dads work by 4:15pm when I got there I was 6cm he was born at 5:50 pm no time for pain meds or epidural, she broke my water and 9cm and I pushed him out at 10cm 1 push! Trust me momma you’ll know when your in labor!

@boymomx3, oh myyyy gosh! I really hope I know when to go. Idk what a contraction feels like.. my tummy stays hard & I always have pains. I pray it’s obvious 🙏🏼

@karensmommy, I have thought about going in several times now & talked myself out of it... and here I am still pregnant lol.. they would have just sent me home! I hope my water breaks or something very obvious because I think I’d disregard anything else thinking I’m just paranoid

@lizsouthwick when u get bh time it if it's consistent for 45 minutes go to l&d

@lizsouthwick just throwing it out there: people always told me that contractions are suuuper painful, so when they started for me I totally ignored them at first because I thought they weren't THAT painful. Just so you know! Everyone is different of course, but I'd say if they get stronger and closer together, it might be the real deal. 😁

@karensmommy, Idk if I’m having them or not.. I’m seriously unsure. My tummy is always hard & I’ve had cramps the last 2 weeks consistently. My next appointment isn’t until the 11th. I’m only 34 weeks so I’m sure I’m fine until then 🤞🏼😅

@lizsouthwick I had bh once I'd I literally felt like I was dying from pain you will know when it happens 😂😂 I said oww like every second I couldn't move at all or even sit up.

@karensmommy, ok that’s good then.. I haven’t had that yet!

@lizsouthwick it will feel like someone is tearing your insides apart and putting it back together and repeating over and over so just try and time it and if it's 5 minutes apart consistently get to the hospital ASAP

@karensmommy, ohhhh boy! Sounds like I’ll know lol 😬😅

And no body warned me about this but nurses will push on ur stomach and it does hurt like hell!

@karensmommy, when? Like when you’re there to have the baby, during labor? I have an almost 12 yo son & honestly don’t remember anything lol I just remember being scared. I was almost 3 weeks overdue. They broke my water with a pick thing & a balloon.. the epidural didn’t work & really don’t remember much because I think I may have been drugged lol idk

@lizsouthwick when u start to push lol I had to be induced but even with the epidural I felt that I had black bruises for 2 weeks after!

@lizsouthwick it's been almost 2 years since I had my daughter but I remember every single detail

@karensmommy, I don’t remember anything really 🤷🏼‍♀️ I wish I did!
