I believe my labor began when I was woken up at 11:30pm from contractions that I thought were just indigestion cramps. It was a few hours later, around 2am, before I admitted to myself it was possibly labor and if it wasn't, something was very wrong and we needed to go to the hospital anyway. Baby was born at 5:41am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-consider-yourself-to-be-in-labor#post-11338 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 07:20:08 +0000 hreichard 11338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started having contractions at 5am on Saturday, I got into the hospital by 7am that morning, they wouldnt ease up at all and i ended up having my son at 1:30pm that same day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-consider-yourself-to-be-in-labor#post-11335 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 06:28:43 +0000 Andrea 11335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like my labor started from the time I felt my first contraction, around 4 am on a Friday. They started to come at timeable intervals from that point and I gave birth Saturday morning at 9 am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-consider-yourself-to-be-in-labor#post-11331 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 05:06:44 +0000 T.H.O.U. 11331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good question. For me I was induced at 9 pm on a Tuesday. My water broke that Wednesday morning about 7 am and se didn't arrive until 1 am early Thursday morning. Pretty much after my water broke was when I needed to move around and focus between contractions so I guess I would say after that point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-consider-yourself-to-be-in-labor#post-11324 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 03:21:11 +0000 looch 11324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a quick labor, I started contractions around 6:30 am on Thursday, my son was born at 8pm that night. My water never broke on its own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-consider-yourself-to-be-in-labor#post-11288 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 22:50:11 +0000 Boogs 11288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When my water broke. If I was having contractions before then I didn't notice because I was shopping, then stuffing my face with a HUGE lunch, lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-consider-yourself-to-be-in-labor#post-11269 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 22:00:05 +0000 Green Thumb 11269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I began having timeable, powerful, consistent contractions the Saturday before DD was born (she was born on a Monday) but they didn't require concentration or breathing to get through them until 2:30 Monday morning (less than 5 hours before she was born). When would you consider the start of labor being? DH and I can't agree. </p>
