Hi there,hope all is well.

* did u have any clues u were going to go into labour that day

No i went for my 36 week check up they even put me on a monitor to check babys movements as i hadnt felt him much for a few days and there were no signs of labour at all.

* were u having contrations and didnt realise?
No i felt really good with no pains at all

* did your mood change

I was on a bit of a high that day i remember feeling very relaxed and stress free

* did you have the nesting thing?
YES before my appointment 8:45am i had done every bit of housework even all my washing was up to date and i had prepared my dinner for that evening to.

* did you ohysically feel different?

I did feel heavier as if i was walking with a bowling ball between my legs it was a bit uncomfortable but i was generaly ok.I also felt like i was constantly trickling not alot but enough to wear a liner.I later got told it was my waters but being a bit nieve and early i thought it was just my bladder lol.

Anyways good luck and let us know how you get on.

thankyou so much for sharing
and thanks for the well wishes,I am sooooooooooo exited
