How do u know when your in labour what are the signs

[Playboyclaire]

I've been on the loo all day fells like I need a poo but there's nothing what could it be

How far is your Pregnancy? Well it's not like needing to poo although labour is. Is intermittent tummy pain. Have you had a show?

[Annmurry]

I had pains as though my tummy was being twisted but everyone describes it differently, I was induced so I didn't have a show until right up til active labour, and I think you would know active labour. Hope all goes well. X

Probably the easiest answer is it will hurt. Sometimes it starts like a dull pain every 10 mins then gets a bit stronger every 8 mins. For my first I felt all my contractions in my legs it was like a fire ball had hit me and was burning my legs. My 2nd was all in my stomach felt like your stomach tightens. Every woman is different and feels the pains differently. If you suspect your in labour best thing to do is see the midwife if you don't think you're to far into it or a and e if you think your contractions are close together. Honestly it hurts but I'm on my Third now and only had injection with my first and gas n air with my 2nd so it hasn't put me off doing it again. I hope it all goes well for you! Either way the baby will come out and your body is designed to know what to do so just listen to your body.
