Really consistent cramping that would grow stronger and more intense and come in waves. I had a contraction timing app on my phone which helped. I LOVED laboring at home. I was able to be in my setting and do what I needed without any input or someone checking my vitals. When contractions started getting super intense I hopped in the shower and then filled the bath. I tried to just listen to my body and relax through the pain bc I always felt worse when I would tense up in expectancy of the pain. Then when it got unbearable I got on all fours in front of a swivel my rocker and just swayed and rocked. Whatever would help. I got to the hospital and she was born 45 mins later.
