For all of the BTDT mommies - what signs of labor did you have before your contractions started? I have heard diahrea (sp? and sorry TMI!) and weight loss - did that ring true for anyone? Anything else we can look out for?

Re: BTDT moms - signs of labor besides contractions?
like three days before, I had braxton hicks contractions but that's pretty much it.

I lost my mucus plug and a half hour later contractions started.

None of the standard signs for me. My stomach felt a little 'off' the night before I went into labor, I thought it was the chili I had for dinner that night. Turns out it was the beginning of labor. I started to get menstrual-like cramps and they just kept increasing in intensity and frequency. My water never broke on its own, my doctor broke it at the hospital.

Braxton hicks contractions. I got serious b/h 2 or 3 days before I went into labor.

I lost my mucus plug like 3 times the week before...it was gross. I also had B/H like 2 weeks before and until the day before my labor began. I was in labor though already and at the hospital when my water broke! What an experience

I went straight to water breaking and contractions started about an hour or so later. I had no clue...the day my water broke 2 co-workers looked at my belly and said you still have awhile to go - you haven't dropped at all. That weekend and morning - my belly felt higher than it had been in a month....I went 3 weeks early and the morning I went into labor - I told someone that I have a feeling I am going to be late....

nope, just the contractions....I was like, man, I'm getting these pains across my belly....and I kept complaining (midnight, in bed ) after I said something 3X, my husband, who I didn't even think was paying attention to me...was like, you know, that's been every six minutes....then we started freaking out!
