here are some symptoms that I had...
the day before labour, i had diarrhoea. I have to dump like 5 -6 times the previous day. Insomnia, i just could sleep due to the pain at my tailbone area. every position was very uncomfortable.
thn the next day, mucus plug. which ended up with bloody show, mucus + blood around evening time.
and thn INTENSE FEELING OF PASSING MOTION. this time i keep gg back and forth the toilet, but nothing came out.
than contraction started.
Basically, contractions feel like menses cramp but it doesn't go away. so tht when u measure the time gap between each contraction. it will get closer and when it about 5-10mins apart. u can slowly make ur way to the hospital.
word of advice, dont be anxious, just relax, stay calm and breathe~~.
Turns out, the "push" that u had to do during labour feel exactly like having constipation.
