Currently 41 weeks with dc2 and not really feeling anything that makes me think Labour is imminent. Getting lots of Braxton hicks which tighten at the bottom of my bump and take my breath away a bit, but that's about it.
I was induced with ds, but was 4cm when examined without knowing I'd been having contractions or dilating so no reference point there. I'm desperate to avoid induction this time as it was bloody awful, but I have no idea what my body is upto. My expectation of Labour is that I'll have some periody type niggles and these will gradually get more consistent and stronger.
So what I'm wondering is whether or not anyone had a Labour where the first they knew about it was when their waters broke or when contractions started coming thick and fast. If so how far along were you? and what number dc was it?

Can Labour start without any warning "niggles"?
