What are the signs of labor?

MOMS. What are some labor signs before having contractions?

• Before having contractions what are some signs that labor is coming soon (in a week or two at most)? Looking back did you have any signs that you didn't notice (or did) at the time that were signs that labor was soon coming?

• Answer:

  I had no signs prior to actual labor. My first came a week early. With her, I felt the urge to poop - every hour, then every half hour, then every 15 minutes, then every 10 minutes, etc. It was MY HUSBAND who finally said are you sure you`re not in labor! No one told me that contractions might feel like you had to poop! My second came three weeks early. With her, I had to pee - every hour, then every half hour, then every 15 minutes, then every 10 minutes, etc. Again, it was MY HUSBAND who finally said, are you sure you`re not in labor! No one told me that contractions might feel like I had to pee! However it feels, if its regular and becoming more frequent, its contractions! Good luck!
