Can you remember how you felt going into labour?

35 weeks with DC3
DC1 I woke up with intense contractions around 6am, didn’t reach active labour until 11am the next day and he was born at 7pm
Dc2 felt a bit funny first thing, having some really mild pains walking round Tesco about 10am, MW came to do at sweep at 4:30pm first proper contraction about 5:30 and she arrived 3 hours later.

I’m probably having a bit of an off day today, but woke up very early and was ravenous so made myself some cereal and went back to bed, I never ever wake up early, I’ve had a nap today (I never sleep in the day), and have had a stomach ache/sicky feeing all day.

Baby hasn’t been as busy as usual, not worried, still more than acceptable amount of kicks etc but he’s usually very active.

Just wondering if anyone’s had an “off day”’ before things kick off?

On both occasions where I went into spontaneous labour I felt off. I was restless as well I remember on DC3 I couldn't relax on the couch and I wasn't surprised when my waters broke even though I was only 33 weeks
