So I've got 15 days left and I'm really not seeing any signs of labor at least I don't think. I don't really know what I should be looking for though :-\  I've been trying everything to make something happen lol any advise or knowledge? Or anyone not really have signs and go into labor?

37 wks today. Set to have a c-section at 39 wks. I'm hoping labor will come sooner! If I sit for too long I get crampy, when I have to use the restroom in the middle of the night my back and sciatic nerve hurt so bad it's hard getting up and I have to hobble to walk. This also happens when I get up from resting. Now as of maybe in the last 2 weeks laying down on either side is uncomfortable, a dull back cramp that goes up either side I'm laying on, and it doesn't go away no matter how much I stretch and toss and turn. Didn't have these problems with my son. With him I was induced at 41 weeks, was slow to progress, and ended up having an emergency c-section. Although once induced I had major back labor pains. Baby 2 is a girl and sadly she's been making me more and more miserable lately. So worst case at least I only have to wait 2 more weeks, but oh how I wish I'd have real contractions or my water would break! I'm over it.

I did not feel any signs I was about to give birth until 5 hours before my daughter was born, which is when the first contractions started. I think what helped me with labor was taking walks as much as I was comfortable all through the pregnancy and doing house work. I know it sounds silly but once I knew the baby was coming (10 days before my due date) I got worried the house wasn't cleaned enough so I did the laundry, scrubbed the floor, vacuumed, took a shower until I couldn't stand through the contractions anymore. Anyway, your baby will be born soon enough and with the crying, feeding and changing you might wish she would just go back in there :))))))) j/k

at the time I had nothing... just woke up rolled over and my water broke.  that was a sign you can't miss. looking back though the days before I started having alot of pains I thought it was just him rolling around and not having alot of room in there.   but everyone says that it was early labour.

I didn't have any signs. All I had was bh contractions which disappeared after 38 weeks.  When I was 39w3d that morning I lost bits of bloody show, had slight back cramps. Then a few hours later I had slightly broke my water because when I laughed I felt water coming out. Called the hospital they told me a doctor would call. I waited for half hour and no one called and I headed to l&d. I started losing more and more of bloody show. And my contractions started. I was so nervous when I first saw the bloody show at home lol. I was literally scared of giving birth but I managed to do it with epidural. Good luck!!! Enjoy your precious baby once its born. I am loving mine!!!
