how did you feel the days leading up to labor?

[mommacierra]

I'm feeling anxious and antsy. Like I did crack but I'm not high lol. And I feel really bitchy. I'm on edge and everything is annoying ass hell. I don't remember this feeling worth my other two. I took a Benadryl to get some sleep last night and that but once woke up the weird feeling came back. I'm 37.3 with baby #3 and was in labor and delivery on Thursday with contractions 6 minutes apart but they ended up going away by Friday.

I remember been like in a hurry, i was doing ten things at the same time. When I notice the mucous plug was gone i knew i was about to start labor, 24 hours later contractions started . Congratulations !

EXHAUSTED. I slept like a bear hibernating.

I was just really tired. I had no energy and it hurt to simply stand up.

Same as normal.

I felt nauseous, and feverish, sort of like I had the flu. I didn't really feel anxious, but more kind of spacey. Like it was hard to really focus on anything. Just sort of a depressed, I don't feel good kind of feeling.

Each time I was pregnant and that was 4 times, just before I went into labor I was on fire. I wanted to clean the house from top to bottom. Do the yard. Do anything I could to get things cleaned. This would start about a week before labor and we all knew what was happening. Within three to four days I gave birth. But man was my house clean and ready for a new baby. Wish I had that much energy now.

I didn't get irritable or cranky with my first two just a lil anxious excited I was pretty calm I'm 4 months with my 3rd now I also cleaned a lot more than before

Sleepy and hungry and desperate to gnaw ice.  I was snappy but not hateful.  I just had a low tolerance for ignorance.  I had patience but it tended to wear thin quickly.  Oh and I was concerned about the state of my toenails.  It actually bugged me that I did not have a pedicure and that my toes were going to be next to the doctors face.  Like he was going to be paying them any attention.  LOLOL

I felt great up until the last weekend. My blood pressure was high and the doctor told me to stay off my feet until Monday then come back in. That's when the put me in the hospital and induced labor. The next morning they rushed me to get an emergency C Section. Try to stay calm because if your blood pressure is up they could have to take the baby Good Luck

Hahaha this. I was so incredibly miserable I was screaming at people one minute, bawling the next. The night I went into labor I felt so depressed. I thought it would never end.

Pissed off at the WORLD. Seriously. I wanted to stab everyone.
