Signs I was going into labor

These are all signs that I noticed in hindsight! In the moment, I wasn’t sure if these signs meant anything but now I can see that they did!

1. My hips and pelvis started to feel sore when standing up. This makes sense now that I know I had an 11.3 pound baby 😅

2. My lower uterus felt sensitive and like I couldn’t wear anything with a waist band. This happened about 4 hours before I was having strong contractions so I think this was the beginning but I didn’t realize because I had been having so many Braxton hicks and aches.

3. My feet and legs started to swell (with no other symptoms). This started happening about 3 weeks before labor started. This is normal and healthy, if you have no other symptoms!

4. My appetite decreased. This could have been because I was getting over being sick but I think it was from labor!
