Oh the infamous question of all time - how do I KNOW for sure that I'm in labor? What are the signs of labor? What aren't signs of labor? How do I time my contractions? When should I go to the hospital?
I share with you the TRUE signs of labor - fully understanding that everyone is different and of course your story will look different - but this will help you stay HOME until it's actually time to go! ALWAYS trust your instincts and listen to your body. All that and more tips so that you can let go of any stress, let yourself labor and go when it's the right time. I also suggest supplementing with my "Warning Signs" video and "How-to Labor at Home" videos- they all go together!!
*Second/Third-time mommas (and beyond): just to clarify, the sensation criteria is the same but you would move the frequency of contractions up to 3-5 minutes for 1 hr instead of 2.

With my mom's first child she never had any contraction pains and her water didn't break she happened to go in for a normal dr appointment and she was almost fully dilated and they rushed her to the hospital and she still felt no pain until they broke her water and she delivered 25 minutes later... Almost the same exact experience for her 2nd child (me) 7 years later!

Same here!!! I was in labor for 40 minutes and only pressure like I had to poop and my baby’s head was out no pain nothing else he was still in water bag and they had to pop it with his head crowning then I felt his head at that point and they cut me with his head down there and I felt the burn cus they never gave me local anesthesia so that’s I felt was burn from being cut! They also never gave me local to stitch me back up and I felt every stitch and on the last stitch I said ouch and the surgeon said woa you never got an epidural!?!? I said no not even local anesthesia when they gave me episiotomy and they all (nurses doctors) told me I had wicked high pain threshold cus I only felt the last stitch when the surgeon pulled and tightened the last one stitch!!!! Imagine that kind of ádrenaline rush!! I am pretty sure it was all adrenaline that made me withstand that pain and when I was being stitched I wasn’t paying attention to pain I was embracing my newborn and in love and that’s on another level of just being able to forget all the madness happening around or to you!!!

@lucysandifer8874 3 жыл бұрын

She is exactly right. I knew when it was time. There was NO question. There came a point when the contractions became ALL CONSUMING, they were 3 minutes apart, and I said “let’s go.” Showed up at 8 cm dilated, and baby was born 1.5 hours later.

If you and your baby are healthy and you really want to have a natural birth, just let your body works on its pace. My water broke when I was fully dilated.

Hmmm... if I listened to this with my first child I probably would have had him at home. I never got to the point where I was moaning and groaning through contractions. I got to the hospital at 7 cm dilated and only went because my husband really wanted me to. I was uncomfortable and in pain but still able to speak. I was not at all convinced I was actually in labor. Everyone is different.

My water broke on my baby girls due date in bed at 5 am and she was here by 10 am. So a very fast(to me) 5 hour all natural labor. Consistant mild contractions started around 5:30 am. Arrived at hospital around 6:30 am at 5 cm. Very painful labor, but I'm glad it happened how it did. She was out in just 2 pushes! Baby #1 & 2 I was induced & hooked up to a bunch of stuff so I couldn't move into different positions like I did this time. Not to mention how long my labor was with them hours & hours...7.11oz 4.18.2020

@judirosadowood1243 3 жыл бұрын

My contractions were irregular for hours, so I waited for them to be “regular”... I was 7 cms when I got to the hospital. So obviously those irregular contractions were moving things along. Every experience is different.

Anyways, I was 9.5 cm when we arrived & they asked "OK, are u ready to push?"!!!

I personally could never wait that long! This is baby #7 And they have all been so different! My first I didn't feel any contractions, ever. I was induced and I had to watch the screen to see if I was having them! With my son I went from 7cm to him on the table in 2 min. The Dr. Missed the birth and he was down the hall.. no one caught him. My last baby my contractions were never regular, they were 2min then 7min then 5min then 3min the entire time. The nurses didn't know what to think😆 I am definitely not text book when it comes to labor. But I have known every time that "this is it" when labor has started naturally. I'm 35 weeks right now and definitely nervous but patiently waiting! Wish my water would just break so I could comfortably go in lol but it never has before on its own... we will see!

Don't worry. It usually happens when you are calm and relaxed. Mine has broken at 3:30am while in bed with all three of my pregnancies. As long as baby is not breech and contractions are tolerable I've tooken my sweet time before going to the hospital. I eat, shower, pray, get the kiddos ready, call my in laws, mom by around 8am so they are not startled lol. Just try to be comfortable before it gets intense and have to hit the hospital setting. Pregnant with my fourth and he's breech at 32 weeks, my first time ever so I'm hoping he flips before then so I can labor at home and avoid a c-section as I'm scared of epidural and surgery.😖Best of luck to you mama. 💕

It's been 8 days since my cervical exam, so I don't think it's from that anymore. I hope its actually me getting closer to labor day as I am 37 weeks - it's my first child.

On my fourth baby I lived 30 min from the hospital. I felt things were happening but as usual when I transfer from home to hospital things slow down in intensity. I was sent home and then kept in touch with my midwife, I still couldn't tell if this was labour and then my baby was born at home. It's so hard for mothers to know for sure! That part I find hard because as birthing mother's we try to trust the experts rather then ourselves. It's super confusing!!

I just had my baby on the 30th of April naturally and my labor was not like my first at all or textbook whatsoever. My contractions were semi-consistent but I had to sort-of keep them coming (walking, standing and moving hips side to side, rocking on a birth ball) if I just relaxed, my contractions would stall out. Labor lasted 11 hours (with semi-consistent painful contractions), transition was about 30 minutes, pushed through 4 contractions and had him within 10 minutes after getting put on the bed. I burst about every blood vessel in both eyes (they told me to push as hard as I could do to baby’s heartbeat lowering substantially with every contraction) so I did.

This video has been very educational that I actually screen recorded majority of it to save in my notes for when I actually go into labor. This is my second baby, and with my first I only experienced contractions (had water broken at hospital). My labor was very different than what you explained. I have very high pain tolerance and so when I was having contractions, to me they just weren’t progressing. They were still far apart and I was maybe a 4 on a scale to 10. But because of my pain tolerance, hubby suggested we make our way to the hospital and since it was our first baby. My contractions started at 6am and we were at the hospital by 1pm. When I got there the l&d nurse said you shouldn’t be here unless you’re in painful contractions but I’ll check you anyways. I was 5 cm dilated. So it makes me nervous trying to wait it out until they get unbearable because who knows I might be ready to push by that time.

I really wanna experience my water breaking at night and like waking up my husband to tell him our little girl is coming 🥺 I pray I don’t need to be induced or have my water broken.

@gavlicktaylor2325 3 жыл бұрын

That's what I want. I was induced with 2 of 3 of my babies but my water did break on its own at the hospital with my son. With my daughter I had silent labor I only went in because I just new and I was at a 5 and 3 hours later still no contractions but there she was. So I have never got to feel real labor. So we are quit curious how baby number 4 will announce him self. 5 weeks togo.

That’s what happened to me with my first. Water broke in bed and woke my hubs and was out the house in 30min and my son was here 3 hours later- no medication/epidural (as I wanted) and I’m 34 wks now so I’m hoping she gives me enough time to get to the hospital. Praying my water doesn’t break in public…or…at work. 🤞🏾

I dealt with an irritable uterus my first pregnancy. Multiple times I went to the hospital for painful contractions, and the doctors told me I didn't know what labor pain actually felt like. I was induced, and when I was in active labor the nurse asked if I wanted an epidural yet, and I honestly didn't realize how far along I was because it still felt like what I knew as braxton hicks. It wasn't until I was pushing her out and I was tearing where I could tell the difference.

All pregnancies are different because I was having very small and minor contractions and thought it was the Braxton Hicks and 4-5 hours later they were more uncomfortable and still thought nothing of it and finally my water broke and it took minutes for my contractions to be 2 min apart and by the time I got to the hospital I delivered my baby within an hour and wasn’t able to get the epidural because of how quickly my labor escalated and that’s how my baby boy was born in a flash
