Hey mummy! When i was pregnant, many told me that first child wont be out fast. mostly overdue and long labour hours. But i proved many wrong. it really depends on individual. I had strong bonding with my girl as I talk to her everyday since she was in my womb. Believe it or not, my edd was supposed to be on 6th July but I requested her to come out either on 23rd or 24th June as it still falls within school holidays. (School reopens early this year on 27th!) i delivered at 38weeks
on the very morning, no pre labour symptoms at all, i had 1-2min contractions and delivered 3 hours after i checked in. imagine the night before i am doing heavy housework still, getting her space ready. and i still can walked to mc donalds and do grocery shopping at 2am.
dont worry too much! we can never be fully prepared! get more rest if not you will have no time for ample rest!
i would describe contractions like being constipated. the pain comes after waterbag burst. but all the pain is worthwhile. i didnt know i have such good pain threshold until i gave birth naturally without pain reliever. go with the flow! good luck mummy!
