I started contracting 20-30m later and delivered ~4.5 hours after my water broke. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-a-single-sign-of-labor-until-you-were-in-it/page/2#post-712538 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 21:16:09 +0000 pregnantbee 712538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: I didn't really have any signs. Really the only thing was that I was having more trouble sleeping and couldn't find a comfy position. The morning of the evening I went into labor, I did feel a little "off." Had been having more Braxton Hicks than usual. Then had a more painful one while out for coffee with a friend. Then nothing the rest of the day until I tried going to sleep that night. I started having contractions every 20 min or so. Lost mucous plug right around then and water didn't break until I was 10 cm and pushing!</p> <p>It could happen anytime. Good luck and hang in there. A due date is an estimate.</p> <p>ETA: I just remembered that I talked to my mom on the phone that afternoon and told her that nothing was happening. I had no idea I was going into labor later. LO was born at 8a the next morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-a-single-sign-of-labor-until-you-were-in-it#post-712532 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 21:10:56 +0000 cheesetomywhine 712532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have signs. I woke up early that morning with bloody show and contractions 3-4 minutes apart. Two hours later called the midwife, told to go to hospital and was 7-8cm. You can have hope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-a-single-sign-of-labor-until-you-were-in-it#post-712525 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 21:03:37 +0000 sslm 712525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kml636: I'll have a sweep at 41 weeks so maybe that will move things along for me!!</p> <p>@Penny Lane: thanks!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-a-single-sign-of-labor-until-you-were-in-it#post-712521 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 21:02:02 +0000 Penny Lane 712521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: I lost what I think was my mucus plug at 38 weeks. No other signs, not a single contraction, until I was 40/1 and my water broke. Had a baby less than 12 hours later!</p> <p>Sending good labour vibes your way!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-a-single-sign-of-labor-until-you-were-in-it#post-712462 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 19:38:13 +0000 sslm 712462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sera_87: 2 weeks tops. We're looking at inducing at 41+6. God I hope I don't go that long!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-a-single-sign-of-labor-until-you-were-in-it#post-712452 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 19:26:07 +0000 kml636 712452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh honey! I don't envy you. I went into labor spontaneously at 41 w 2 days (although I had two cervical sweeps which caused cramping, etc). I don't think I lost my mucus plug until I went into labor. I never felt braxton hicks if I had them. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-a-single-sign-of-labor-until-you-were-in-it#post-712443 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 19:18:55 +0000 ALV91711 712443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had absolutely no signs of labour. Not once did I have a braxton hicks contraction or anything. Then 13 days before my due date my water broke, after that the contractions started and 12 hours later DS was here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-a-single-sign-of-labor-until-you-were-in-it#post-712248 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 17:05:57 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 712248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ended up being induced so I never really had any natural signs of labor.</p> <p>HOWEVER, I was 5 cm dilated at my 39 week appointment. This means I went an entire week without feeling a single contraction and I was already HALF WAY dilated. Crazy stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-a-single-sign-of-labor-until-you-were-in-it#post-712244 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 17:04:13 +0000 sera_87 712244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had NOTHING at 40 weeks - they couldn't even do a membrane sweep because I was only, like, half a cm dilated. 41 was the week everything happened; lost moucous plug, contractions, dilation, etc. LO was born 41+1. </p> <p>How long are they letting you go for? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-a-single-sign-of-labor-until-you-were-in-it#post-712115 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 15:55:09 +0000 2PeasinaPod 712115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me! Well...sort of! I had been cramping a bit on and off all day, but that had been going on for 2 weeks every few days. The day I went into labor, a contraction got me out of bed at 10:30. They started coming 5-7 minutes apart after that. LO was born at 2:30 the next afternoon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-a-single-sign-of-labor-until-you-were-in-it#post-712099 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 15:51:02 +0000 T-Mom 712099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For my 2nd I didn't have any signs until labor and then started having contractions. by the time I got to the hospital 1.5 hr later I was at 8cm. I was 10 days from due date. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-a-single-sign-of-labor-until-you-were-in-it#post-711905 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 14:45:42 +0000 cascademom 711905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No mucus plug or water breaking. I went into labor when I had contractions after work. Only when the contractions became really bad and noticeable was when we headed to the hospital. I lost my mucus plug when they checked me the first time in triage. They broke my water when I was 6 cm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-a-single-sign-of-labor-until-you-were-in-it#post-711892 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 14:42:33 +0000 sslm 711892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skipper2010: Thank you!!

In fact she just had a check up a couple days prior and at that point nothing was happening. DH and I were hanging out with her that evening and still nothing. We got a call the next morning that about an hour after we left her water broke and she had her baby by the next morning.<br /> Thinking of you @sslm: Hope something happens soon for you!

It's making me feel much better. I'm only 38 weeks, but I'm dilated to 3 and my stupid midwife keeps telling me that she doesn't think she'll see me next week. Ugh!
