    Felt so good to hear you say, it ok to just not know you're in labour. My third baby, I watched so many videos two hours before she was born trying to figure out if I was in labour. I literally had all 10 of those symptoms in one hour! Precipitous labours are intense.

I'm stuck in prodromal labor as I get strong crampy contractions every night that are regular, but they never progress 😩😩 every night I'm praying "let tonight be the night!!"

    I was extremely restless a couple days before my labor started. Like, I could not sit down I felt so anxious and uncomfortable. Pacing, squatting, and wall sitting was the only way I could feel relief. It was definitely a sign of early labor for me looking back. Take note if your due date is approaching and you feel like climbing the walls!😂😂

    Every pregnancy and labor is completely different, with my first I was so unsure about when to go to the hospital. But i followed the list my doctor gave me, and I listened to my intuition also.. so basically for me my water didn’t break with my first but it trickled throughout the day so my amniotic fluid was extremely low and dangerous without my knowledge but I went to the hospital when my contractions were every 5 minutes because it was about 30 minutes away. The triage nurse almost sent me back home because I wasn’t dialated very much but the resident on duty wanted to check my fluid because she asked me if I had “peed” myself or thought that I did.. and earlier that day I really did think that I had peed myself or was leaking urine and it was actually my amniotic fluid leaking. So I wasn’t sent home, went from 2-10 cm in a matter of 3 hours and gave birth without any meds because the anesthesiologist was busy in surgery and they were short staffed.

I had gestational diabetes, so I put my workout and diet in overdrive. Because of this I am feeling amazing, and loving pregnancy. So far totally diet controlled and no sign of induction in sight. Thank Goodness! Spoken to my midwives and they have informed me that I can have a totally hands off labor if I want one. I can catch my own baby, even. So glad my hospital is so progressive. You are looking amazing! So excited to hear your birth story.

They are very helpful! ❤ they all helped me prepare for my next (probably last) labor. My water broke at 11pm so we headed to the hospital. Contractions started soon after (I got a balloon). After 4 hours of contractions the nurses discovered that the umbilical cord was next to the baby's head so they told me i couldn't have her naturally and I was gonna have a c-section. (The cord turned out to be so long that it was twice around her little neck.) I am much better now and my daughter is healthy and that's what matters. Wishing you all the best from Hungary 🙂

Everyone was telling me it was Braxton hicks but I wasn't feeling the baby move as much so i was concerned and decided to go in to make sure he was OK. Turns out I was at 8 1/2 cm and they said I wasn't going anywhere. I was 37 weeks and 5 days and he came 12 hours later from when I arrived at the hospital. So crazy, I'm glad I went in!

    Im really glad about how much emphasis you put on it being ok to go in if you arent sure. With my first pregnancy i woke up at 2 am feeling like i had an upset stomach kinda like a crampy constipated feeling (literally had nacho cheese on bread for dinner so i didnt think anything of it) went to the bathroom and i was bleeding lightly in retrospect was probably bloody show. I called the hospital and they said i should probably just come in to get checked so i got all the bags together and called my ride to the hospital which was 30 minutes away and my baby was born at 545 lol 3hours and 45 minutes from start to finish so im really really glad i didnt wait. Side note im currently 32w 3d with baby 3 and im experiencing like 4 different signs labor is coming which with my second came roughly 2 weeks before he was born so im paying super close attention to every little thing hoping she stays in for at least a little more than 2 weeks.

    I am 33 weeks today with my second baby, With my first I was CLUELESS, I did zero research, I had no idea what to expect or how to cope, I was so freaked out I felt like I was going to have a panic attack whenever I would think about labour 😆 I went into labour not knowing my pain relief options, breathing techniques or anything, I didn't even know that 10 cm was fully dilated, the nurse kept telling me how many cm and it meant nothing to me because I had no idea, I ended up having a 30 hour labour with just gas as pain relief, I have done everything different this time, I am researching, and preparing and trying to get as much information as possible before hand this time, I feel so much calmer just knowing more going into it this time, knowledge really is power, and I would have had such a less stressful and scary labour with my son if I knew what was going on, I have really appreciated all of your video's, they're informative but not scary, so thank you ❤️ And good luck with your labour, I hope it ends up being exactly what you're hoping for 🌈🌻

When I went in yesterday for my normal visit my doctor said, "1cm dilated, 30% effaced. Since it's your third baby he could really come any time. I dont think he'll arrive before the end of next week, but I won't be shocked if you come in tonight in full blown labor."

    My water didn’t break at home, just a little pop and then contractions that very quickly got to 3 mins apart and I didn’t believe I was in labor and was worried about wasting a trip to the hospital. After a couple hours and some phone calls, I took a shower to shave my legs and wash my hair and put on makeup and then got to the hospital, 4cm dilated! My water did eventually break on it’s on and fortunately for all involved, it finally broke while I was over the toilet!! 12hrs of labor and I was able to meet my sweet girl and was able to follow my birth plan, all natural! I’m pretty sure the nurses were making bets if I’d make it or not 🤣 I’m thankful I had a good first time. I know it’s not always easy!

He dropped Wednesday - right onto my bladder so I thought my water had broken (nope - that was pee 😫). Now I’m just exhausted. The end has been such an emotional rollercoaster, but we’re both healthy. My dr said I’m super effaced and he could come at any moment. The waiting game is TOUGH 😭😭

    I think we’re pregnancy twins! Due June 1st with baby number 3. Had prodromal labor since 4pm yesterday. Had a dr exam today and while my mom thought it was true labor, was only 1cm and 50% effaced. Baby dropped a month ago. Dr did a membrane sweep. Trying not to be discouraged or frustrated but it’s hard. You’d think with baby 3, I’d know when labor starts, but each labor/baby is so different. I’m fine staying pregnant or going into labor now, just need body to pick one! This back pain is no joke! Thank you for your videos. I’ve learned so much this time around and am actually looking forward labor/delivery, but want to be able to sleep before so I have the energy to go unmedicated (which is the goal).

My water partially ruptured and my contractions started immediately. Within 2 1/2 hrs I had already dialated 4 cm. The doc fully ruptured my water and within an hr I had my daughter.

    I have been binge watching your videos over the years. I have to say thank you and congratulations on your achievements💐. I do need your advice. I had my son very young and had a bad experience with the epidural process, however I can not tolerate much pain as is anymore due to back pain from it since then. (9 years ago) I am now 33 weeks pregnant with our first little girl. The question I guess is I want to try Nitrous Oxide before preparing myself for the epidural, (which I am scared of because of the horrific memory I have with it) will I be able to take both? Another thing is they say my baby is smaller then my average height/weight and that I’m a bit over weight. We’re as my OB says I am fine with my weight and not to worry to much. Is there anything that I can do to ease the labor complications because of me being over weight? Thank you. I hope I didn’t confuse you. I have no idea what to do from here and believe you’ll have reassurance for me.
