Due date paas aa rahi hai aur main first time mom hu, samajh nahi aa raha labour pain actually shuru kaise hota hai. Matlab kya pehle halka hota hai phir badhta hai, ya ekdum se? Aur kaise pata chalega ki ye real hai ya bas normal kamar dard. Jisne feel kiya ho pls batao.
Oh, this is something I'm so curious about and also a little scared of! I've heard so many stories. Does it really start like period cramps, or is it more sudden? It's all so unknown for first-timers, right?
It's a beautiful journey, and your body will guide you. Labour usually starts with either your water breaking, or consistent contractions that feel like tightening and pain, slowly increasing in intensity. Just stay positive, keep yourself healthy, and trust the process. God is with you.
My saas told me to look out for two things: either your water breaking, or regular contractions that feel like bad stomach pain or backache. She said initial ones are far apart but slowly get closer and stronger. Listen to your body, and your MIL usually knows too!
I felt a really dull ache in my lower back and then slowly, it started feeling like my period cramps were getting super strong and regular. It wasn't a sudden gush of water for me, just a gradual building up of pressure and pain. It's a surreal experience, really.
After enduring morning sickness for months, I was just ready for anything! For me, it felt like really strong period cramps, starting mild and getting closer and more intense. Some women feel it in their back too. It's different for everyone but definitely very noticeable when it starts properly.
Honestly, by the 3rd trimester, I'm just hoping it starts and finishes quickly! 😂 My doc said it usually begins with either water breaking or regular, intensifying contractions, kinda like bad period cramps. I'm just bracing myself for whatever comes first, maybe with a lot of snacks.
