For my first baby my water broke at 11pm. I was 37w5d. Not dilated at all. No signs of labor. But now, looking back, I feel like the signal was a few days prior to "go time". It was my birthday. And I felt AWESOME! I seriously didn't feel pregnant. I felt light as a feather. I felt invincible! And three days later, I was became a first-time mama.
I'm currently 37w2d with my second baby. Last week he gave us a scare with low amniotic fluids. And then he decided to go transverse on me. After a night in the hospital with IV fluids, he turned back to heads down and my fluid was up enough that I got to go home.
But now, I feel like I'm on high alert. I feel like no matter what, my original 7/11 due date is not happening. But I wonder what will be my sign this time around that it's "go time". I don't feel like it's going to happen today - but this time around, I feel like all signs are internal. Out of my hands. No contractions. No pain. Just potential for every doctor visit to reveal that my fluid is low again and this baby is coming now. I'm currently 4 hours away from finding out if today is my day.
What was your "sign" that it was go time?
