I went on a 3.5 mile walk with my BFF. Everything was normal at bedtime. I was 39 weeks and 5 days so I was definitely anxious and excited. I went into labor in the middle of the night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-right-before-you-went-into-labor#post-2014586 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 00:06:08 +0000 Kemma 2014586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty good because I'd just had an emergency root canal done so I was feeling a million times better than I had been! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-right-before-you-went-into-labor#post-2014585 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 23:57:53 +0000 Miss Ariel 2014585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt pretty normal. Everyone was sure I'd be at work the next day because I still felt so good. But that night, on my due date, contractions started and I had her the following morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-right-before-you-went-into-labor#post-2014573 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 23:30:29 +0000 MrsRcCar 2014573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Miserable but I had to clean. Dh thought I was crazy. Once everything was clean I slept. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-right-before-you-went-into-labor#post-2014566 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 23:16:36 +0000 Corduroy 2014566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was calm and comfortable. I was prepping myself for two more weeks of waiting. I was planning to go to the gym until I lost my mucus plug. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-right-before-you-went-into-labor#post-2014545 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 22:54:49 +0000 avivoca 2014545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't rest until I rounded up every pair of underwear I had and washed it. Then I took a nap. I went into labor at 6:00 that night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-right-before-you-went-into-labor#post-2014520 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 22:34:58 +0000 fussygal 2014520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Really tired (I missed meeting up with a friend because I napped through our meeting!) and just a tad "off" - not sure how else to explain it. But I think I felt it was coming. During early labor I felt surprisingly calm (DH is a different story :P ). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-right-before-you-went-into-labor#post-2014519 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 22:31:21 +0000 Grace 2014519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So tired. And lots of cramps. Which made me more tired. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-right-before-you-went-into-labor#post-2014491 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 21:49:26 +0000 fancyfunction 2014491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was uncomfortable and just wanted the pregnancy to be done b/c I was a few days past my due date. Woke up the next day with cramps and I just knew - and I was surprisingly calm about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-right-before-you-went-into-labor#post-2014462 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 21:26:26 +0000 Smurfette 2014462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally normal. Just over over being pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-right-before-you-went-into-labor#post-2014388 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 20:31:16 +0000 mrsrugbee 2014388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was certain I was going to be pregnant for another week and a half and then SURPRISE! My water broke as I was taking an irate 40 week bump pic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-right-before-you-went-into-labor#post-2014387 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 20:30:55 +0000 jhd 2014387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt really tired. The day before DH and I went out for lunch and a walk at the park. I felt good. Next day I just felt off and really tired. My water broke that evening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-right-before-you-went-into-labor#post-2014385 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 20:29:31 +0000 matador84 2014385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DS, I really felt sick. As in, I couldn't eat. Was having a hard time walking. With DD, I felt fine but I totally had like this weird restlessness. Couldn't sleep, was pretty much walking in circles around the house. So weird! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-right-before-you-went-into-labor#post-2014380 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 20:24:06 +0000 catomd00 2014380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The two days before I felt like I was coming down with a cold and just uncomfortable but not much different from any other day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-right-before-you-went-into-labor#post-2014289 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 19:07:59 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2014289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The last two weeks before my due date (my water started leaking on my due date which began my two-day labor process!) were SO LONG. Each day felt like a week. I was totally anxious, all while willing myself to enjoy each minute of 'free time' I had pre-baby. I never had a nesting burst of energy, although as a Type-A personality I kind of spent the entire pregnancy nesting!@.twist.: This! My doctor gave me PH paper to use to test whether or not the various fluids 'down there' were amniotic fluid. On my due date the paper turned from yellow to black, and my husband made me call my doctor. Which I only did to prove him wrong :wink: . I called the doctor and was like "Well it turned black, but I'm sure it's a false alarm." And the nurse said, "No, you need to go to labor and delivery" and I said "Nah, I'm not feeling anything, I don't think I should go," and she said "No, you need to go to the hospital." It was in fact amniotic fluid and, like you said, I was in total, total denial! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-right-before-you-went-into-labor#post-2014283 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 19:02:39 +0000 Charm54 2014283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot of energy - I spent the day making about a month's worth of freezer meals! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-right-before-you-went-into-labor#post-2014273 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 18:55:20 +0000 sorrycharlie 2014273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just frustrated that I felt like nothing was happening! No dilation, no nothing. Then that day I had my bloody show and lost my mucus plug in the morning, and my water randomly broke at 5. Boom, fully dilated by 8:30 pm! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-right-before-you-went-into-labor#post-2014227 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 18:07:29 +0000 littlejoy 2014227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: LOL! I remember that too! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-right-before-you-went-into-labor#post-2014225 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 18:05:44 +0000 .twist. 2014225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Espion: haha I'm peeing! No wait... that's a baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-right-before-you-went-into-labor#post-2014222 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 18:04:04 +0000 littlejoy 2014222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in nesting mode, but otherwise had no idea. After dinner, I pooped like 4 times, and then my first contraction happened at midnight. Baby was born at 6:30 that next morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-right-before-you-went-into-labor#post-2014216 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 17:58:03 +0000 MrsB2012 2014216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Woke up early just not feeling well. Couldn't quite figure it out.. headachy, restless, just off. Was in denial about my water leaking as well. I was a little nervous once I admitted I was in labour, mostly worried that it was 'false labour' and the hospital would send me home haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-right-before-you-went-into-labor#post-2014209 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 17:53:23 +0000 Espion 2014209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't answer this question, because I've never gone into labor, but @.twist.: I still totally remember that thread! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-right-before-you-went-into-labor#post-2014207 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 17:51:41 +0000 coopsmama 2014207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was really tired the night before I went into labor with my first. I slept like a rock and then woke up in labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-right-before-you-went-into-labor#post-2014183 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 17:32:32 +0000 hilsy85 2014183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally normal, maybe slightly more tired and a teeny bit achy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-right-before-you-went-into-labor#post-2014182 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 17:31:49 +0000 KT326 2014182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was really uncomfortable but I just attributed it to the fact that I gained 50+ lbs. I couldn't sit still when we went out to lunch and I had DH rub my back every chance I got. I was only 37 weeks so I didn't think I was in labor! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-right-before-you-went-into-labor#post-2014181 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 17:31:41 +0000 .twist. 2014181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in complete denial. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-right-before-you-went-into-labor#post-2014178 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 17:30:39 +0000 mfa_lady 2014178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a great day, super productive and busy (got tons of stuff done at home because it was New Years day) and then about two hours before my water broke I got super grumpy. Weird, huh? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-right-before-you-went-into-labor#post-2014158 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 17:18:30 +0000 Cole 2014158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>More energetic but not the crazy nesting kind I had had the days before. It was one of the few days I didn't nap (I regretted that!) And I stayed up way later than usual watching TV, I wanted to shower but I didn't want to spend an hour drying my hair at 11pm so I didn't. I went to bed around 11:45 and woke up at 1:30 in full on labor- I hit transition within the hour! </p>
