It was early, but my 6th sense knew it wouldn't be long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-the-day-before-you-went-into-labor#post-1456484 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 21:10:46 +0000 wonderstruck 1456484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Normal. I mean, normal didn't feel good, the last few weeks were pretty awful...but there was nothing particularly different about that day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-the-day-before-you-went-into-labor#post-1456397 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 20:37:49 +0000 cheesetomywhine 1456397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-the-day-before-you-went-into-labor#post-1456063 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 18:53:16 +0000 Honeydew 1456063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Miserable. I was having early labor for 2 days prior so I was hoping that the actual day was it. I couldn't handle it any more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-the-day-before-you-went-into-labor#post-1456056 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 18:51:22 +0000 littlek 1456056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: I didn't realize how bad I looked/felt till other people commented on it. Funny thing is DH gave me a hard time because I told him I wanted to lay on the couch instead of go to work out. I can just imagine working out would have made B come sooner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-the-day-before-you-went-into-labor#post-1456053 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 18:50:26 +0000 chopsuey 1456053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>totally normal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-the-day-before-you-went-into-labor#post-1456052 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 18:50:05 +0000 hilsy85 1456052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>TOTALLY NORMAL. I thought for sure I'd have some sense of forboding, but nope. I was maybe slightly crampy, but other wise felt completely fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-the-day-before-you-went-into-labor#post-1455733 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 16:49:38 +0000 lemondrop 1455733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With #1, I was a complete and total bitch. My husband kept asking what he should do with work, and I told him the baby was never coming and to do whatever he wanted. He came home early and was there to witness my water breaking :P </p> <p>Jury is still out on when the day before I go into labor will be with this one. Every day I think that could be it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-the-day-before-you-went-into-labor#post-1455432 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 15:56:59 +0000 septca 1455432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The day before I went into labor (at 38w5d), I walked about 8 miles, stood outside at an event for 4 hours, went to a 3 hour movie, and did 2 loads of laundry. I was *exhausted* and sore and really uncomfortable during that movie... and all that moving around is probably what caused my water to break. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-the-day-before-you-went-into-labor#post-1455379 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 15:45:57 +0000 HLK208 1455379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt okay, other than having 7 min breaks between contractions for a half hour the day before. I didn't sleep well though (not from being uncomfortable but I just couldn't sleep!) I went to bed at midnight, got up at 2-4am, fell asleep until 6am and when I got up, my water broke. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-the-day-before-you-went-into-labor#post-1455378 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 15:45:47 +0000 Caly 1455378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Miserable. I was absolutely miserable and had been the couple weeks leading up to delivery. So, nothing really special or out of the ordinary for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-the-day-before-you-went-into-labor#post-1455352 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 15:40:49 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1455352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It felt very obvious that I was about to go into labor.</p> <p>I had lots of discharge.<br /> Lots of going #2.<br /> And there was SO much pressure that I could hardly walk. I felt like the baby was about to fall out!</p> <p>That night, we went to a move, and I was incredibly uncomfortable. Sure enough, I went into labor at 3 a.m. that night!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-the-day-before-you-went-into-labor#post-1455272 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 15:13:23 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1455272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I knew I was being induced so we spent the day running around and shopping with my mom and then went out to lunch. Then, we all met up at my mom's in the vening to watch a movie with snacks. But, I was too exhausted so I made DH go home with me and I went to bed at 7PM! The next morning at 7AM I woke up in labor. No induction for me:)<br /> I totally didn't see it coming. I am glad that I wore myself out the day before and got into bed at 7PM because I had an early morning ahead of me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-the-day-before-you-went-into-labor#post-1455219 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 15:02:25 +0000 Alivoo01 1455219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was getting induced the next day so I was a nervous wreck all day because the past 2 weeks were pretty much bedrest since I had low amniotic fluid levels and DS was an IUGR baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-the-day-before-you-went-into-labor#post-1455005 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 14:18:05 +0000 MrsKoala 1455005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A bit cranky but generally I felt really good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-the-day-before-you-went-into-labor#post-1455003 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 14:17:29 +0000 rattles 1455003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wonky? I was exhausted and a little nauseous that morning, but mostly I just felt off somehow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-the-day-before-you-went-into-labor#post-1454939 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 14:10:17 +0000 prettylizy 1454939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Completely normal. I don't feel normal this time I'm totally fed up.... 4 more nights then it's eviction time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-the-day-before-you-went-into-labor#post-1454925 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 14:08:48 +0000 MoonMoon 1454925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty good, went out for breakfast, did a crazy walk/hike, went grocery shopping...labor was totally unexpected! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-the-day-before-you-went-into-labor#post-1454923 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 14:08:39 +0000 fancyfunction 1454923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt pretty good - just normal end-of-pregnancy discomfort. I was already a few days overdue and I did notice some blood the night before so I figured labor was eminent. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-the-day-before-you-went-into-labor#post-1454912 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 14:07:24 +0000 Mrs. M 1454912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt totally normal (except a little uncomfortable from being huge). I was very surprised that I went into labor and had my daughter on her due date. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-the-day-before-you-went-into-labor#post-1454910 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 14:07:11 +0000 coopsmama 1454910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally fine and normal even though I was 40 weeks and 4 days. I went into labor the next morning. Contractions started at 6:30am and just never stopped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-the-day-before-you-went-into-labor#post-1454890 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 14:04:10 +0000 bhbee 1454890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>really really uncomfortable. but I didn't truly think that was it. I made myself go to work the next morning and came home at lunch because I was even more uncomfortable. it wasn't until I got home that I noticed 4 min contractions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-the-day-before-you-went-into-labor#post-1454884 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 14:03:24 +0000 illumina 1454884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't feel any different to any other night from the last few weeks leading up to it. So it was a total surprise when contractions started at 5am the next morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-the-day-before-you-went-into-labor#post-1454872 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 14:01:14 +0000 lamariniere 1454872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Completely and utterly normal other than being just over 37 weeks. It was a BIG surprise that my water broke at 37+2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-the-day-before-you-went-into-labor#post-1454742 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 13:45:37 +0000 avivoca 1454742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tired and sore. I took a nap on the couch while my clothes were in the dryer, and about two hours after I woke up, I started having contractions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-the-day-before-you-went-into-labor#post-1454691 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 13:40:14 +0000 lovehoneybee 1454691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: That's what happened to my SIL. She ended up delivering at 30 weeks, and in the few days before my MIL said she didn't even recognize her. </p> <p>I was in a pissy mood. I yelled at DH, yelled at my mom, spent over an hour trying to take the top well off of our Brita filter so I could clean the inside. I was hot, swollen, miserable, and sure I would be pregnant for several more weeks. My mom was sure I was about to go into labor, lol. I woke up the next morning with contractions that were fairly far apart but that I regular and that I couldn't sleep through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-the-day-before-you-went-into-labor#post-1454680 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 13:38:37 +0000 MapleMoose 1454680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally normal. Because I was induced lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-the-day-before-you-went-into-labor#post-1454669 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 13:37:11 +0000 Smurfette 1454669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Exhausted. I couldn't sleep at all at the end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-the-day-before-you-went-into-labor#post-1454651 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 13:34:35 +0000 littlek 1454651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awful. People actually commented that I looked awful. I went home early from work that day. (i was 33 weeks 6 days) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-feel-the-day-before-you-went-into-labor#post-1454644 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 13:33:38 +0000 Bao 1454644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt some discomfort like I just couldn't get comfortable the evening before, but I figured it was just being really pregnant and it was hot out. I slept great though the entire night and woke up at my normal time to contractions, I can't complain about that but certainly didn't think that day was going to be the day. </p> <p>How did you feel the day before you went into labor? Or the few hours before? Did you have an idea it may be happening soon? </p>
