How did you feel the day before you went in to labour?

[Chelle1986]

Just that really - 39+4 and interested to know how people felt the day before?

Knackered mainly, just like the day before that, and the day before that, and the day before that...

I didn't feel any different, in other words.

no different than usual. but with ds1 i had sudden flu-like symptons which made me take to my bed for 2 hours at about 4pm. labour started at 6.30pm.

ds2 i went 14 days overdue so all i was feeling was very very bored of waiting...

I had an odd feeling "down there" - kind of like a bouncing feeling as if babe was literally headbutting my cervix. Waters broke about 9-10hrs later.

very energetic, went for a very long walk up to greenwich observatory and up and down the hills in the park. overheard a german teenage tourist shouting at her mom 'look that pregnant lady is faster than you'.
waters broke the night, dd arrived before lunchtime.

Absolutely normal, was 38+1 with first baby so thought I had another 2 weeks to go, a few friends told me bump had dropped so baby must be coming soon and I said nonsense, still have 2 weeks to go. Went to gym and prenatal pilates as normal. Waters broke that evening, and DS born next day.
