How do you know when your in labour? Or ready to ring up? People keep saying you will know but I just don't think I will...
I had no signs I was going to go into labour (waters didn't break, didn't have a show, no backache or cramps) I did however go into labour on my due date. Around lunch time I went for a pee and when I went to stand up I got this pain that was nothing like I had had before, i just ignored it but between then and 5 pm the pain kept coming but the time between each pain dropped every time, after about 3 or 4 pains I decided to start timing and counting when I got it and by 3pm they where happening every 20 mins by 4/5 every 5-10 mins so I rang the hospital to which her reply was 'Oh but it's your due date' as if I was panicking about it being due date being dramatic 😂I got a pain while on the phone and couldnt talk so i burst out crying so she knew i eas having one and she said come up, we will check you over but you will probably be sent home.... I got outside the hospital at 6pm and I was having pains almost 1 minute apart, they left me until 7pm to check me and I was 3cm by then so was kept in .... you'll defo know when it happens wether you have other signs or not, the contractions will be a different kind of pain, even if you don't find them too painful, I was totally fine until about 8.30/9ish.... good luck, youl be fine and youl defo know 😃 x
Thanks guys xxx
