When did you start labour symptom spotting?

[Lexyness]

Literally as the title says 🤣 what gestation were you when you started looking for signs of labour?

I feel like I’m a bit obsessed and I’m only 35+4 🙈
Had a couple of jelly blobs last night, assuming it’s already my plug coming away, but they were only tiny!
I know it’s too soon, but I can’t help myself! Dc4 and have NEVER been this big with the others so I’m getting constant comments about being ready to pop etc already (and my bump is very neat and all baby, not put weight on elsewhere)
Anyone else symptom spotting this early or is it just me lol.

Yep, since I hit 37 weeks. Period pains, lower back ache, upset tummy... c section booked for Wednesday so the end is in sight!

This is DC3 for me and biggest baby so far as well!

Snap! 35 plus 2 here - DC 2. I’m huge compared to DC1 and just don’t think I’ve room to grow him for another potential 7 weeks!! I had DC1 at 38 plus 3. Were your other DC on time/early/late OP?

I've had 3DC. With all three I had no sign of impending labour, no show or Braxton Hicks contractions. It went from nothing to 100mph with all three, all being precipitous labours; the shortest was 45 minutes from start to finish and he was back to back. Everyone is different.

@Fivefootoffun my others were 39 weeks so possibly only 3 weeks and 3 days left if this baby follows suit 🤷🏼‍♀️
@walnutwhipster my last 2 were precipitous labours as well with no previous signs. First I had the show, waters break, delay until contractions started but then when they did they were only 7 minutes apart and quickly went to pretty much every minute - 20hours all in all total time!
Second no previous symptoms waters went and I went straight into labour, it was 1 hour 50 minutes in total BUT on discussing it with my current midwife she thinks I was ready to deliver within 20 minutes of waters breaking and just holding on 🙈 when my daughter finally came out I was told by midwife to stop pushing and I never even started pushing, she just came out of her own accord and the MW didn’t even have gloves on!
Dc3 - honestly can’t even remember 🙈

From about 37 weeks!
