Labour pains

has anyone who’s given birth before not had any signs of labour prior? i see loads of people having cramps before they actually go into labour but ive had nothing so far, i still have time im 37 weeks but i worry i will be late as loads of people have pains even weeks leading up to birth!

For my first, I went to bed with absolutely no signs of labour, but my waters popped at 1am, arrived at hospital by 2:30 and baby born at 6am. My contractions were instantly 3 in 10, no slow start! Absolutely no idea what was to come, felt completely normal going to bed and then it all happened very quickly!

@Amy I keep having dreams that this happens to me 😂😂. I really hope it’s not a premonition lol although would be ideal not to labour for days!

@Zoe if I could repeat my experience, I would! Except the part where my husband had to sit in the car for 2.5 hours til I was moved to the labour ward (thanks Covid!)

@Amy tbh I’d rather get it over and done with too! Both my sister and sister in law had labours that lasted days and as I already have a toddler I would like to avoid that!! How gutting that he had to wait outside, at least that won’t be a worry this time ❤️

I didn't... well, I had braxton hicks for MONTHS, but can't count those. However, I had a sweep

Yep very little signs of labour with my first. Just felt like painful contractions came out of nowhere and within an hour I was on my way to hospital.
