How did you feel before you went into labor?

I was induced with DS so I have nothing to compare this to.

For the last few days I've been nauseous, dizzy, and having terrible indigestion and heartburn. Generally just feeling like crap.

A few people have suggested that maybe this could mean the baby is coming. I am not due Til 1/12 but two different doctors have told me I'm measuring slightly ahead and they don't think I'll make it to my due date.

Just looking for any information or advice too. I went from feeling pretty good to really feeling awful! Normal?

Thanks in advance.

I was horribly nauseated three days before... I couldn't keep anything down. Contractions started two days later and on the third day I had a baby.

I felt the same as I had for the weeks leading up to it, i.e., swollen, slow, and tired. Even after my water broke I felt fine and when my contractions started I wasn't dizzy or nauseous.

I felt off the day before my water broke. Took one bite of dinner and couldn't finish it. Then at 1:20am my water broke.

I felt fine, and was working up until I was in labor. I had back labor, and wasn't even sure I was having contractions until the pain got so bad I finally went to the hospital where they told me I was contracting. Never felt sick or nauseous though.

I was due January 6th, but on December 4th, my daughter came at 5 weeks early. I was working the night shift, had worked 11 hours, and during my last hour before going home, my water broke. That night while working, my feet were really swollen and I could barely walk or get around. I felt fine, just a little slower at getting around. I had no symptoms or signs of going into labor. I was loosing my mucous plug for about 2 weeks before all this happened.

I felt no different the day I went into labor.  No mucous, no water breaking, no stomach issues, nothing!

I felt crappy, had stomach issues in the evenings a few days before going into labor. The day I went into labor I felt fine, started having consistent BH contractions but not pain. Had no idea I was in labor until I went to the hospital and had them check me. I was induced with DD1 as well so I wasn't sure what to expect.

I was having awful back pain for two days before my water broke. Then after I was in the hospital I started getting really nauseous.

The night before I went into labor I was terribly nauseous, and ended up throwing up, and the whole next day I was tired and laid around. Water broke less then 24 hours after throwing up.

My water broke at 38w2d and I didn't feel a whole lot different the day before. Just normal pregnancy aches and pains.
