What were your signs that labour was immenant?

I didn't have any Braxton Hicks things that I noticed, but tbh I have a hugely high tolerance of pain and don't tend to feel things which is why I ended up in the final stages of labour without even realising it.....it was the one and only time that my freaky pain threshold has worked to my benefit.

Ohhhh Peridot, 39 weeks now

SO excited!!

For me, I started loosing the mucus plug on the Friday. Period pains started on the Sunday and he was born that night (well the Monday very early).

Ah bless you Kiki, tbh I have come round to the idea that 3 of the same would prob be easier in many way

And I can see a third boy slotting into our family really well!
i know SJ, 39+3 today

(although that's 38+3 by my dates)
Im wondering if I'm start to lose my mucus plug..might do another thread on it ;)

I didn't have anything signs either really, I did get Braxton Hicks but nothing that was usual for me. With all three it started with period type aches worsening to mild contractions over an hour or so and they were all born with 24 hours of the first niggles.

Really have my fingers crossed or you
