For Mama's who have already labored...

[healthnutmama]

This is funny considering it's my 4th child.

Did any of you feel total PMS symptoms before going into labor. I am so irritable today I can't stand myself let alone my family.

I can't remember feeling this way before. Maybe I'm just spent. I don't know.

I dunno...but IF it's true, I qualify!

[tolovemercy]

hmm....if so, i should have been going into labor since week 5....lol. *sigh*

I don't remember. I'm really irritable and bitchy right now, though.

Count me in too! I forgot I could feel this way.

I was rereading "The Baby Catcher" recently and the author's labor started that way--PMS symptoms.

I didn't feel that way with DD1 or DD2. But I felt like a caged animal at the start of DD3's labour. I actually said to DH when I was pacing around the L&D room, that I was in a very irritated state and I didn't know how to calm myself down. It was very strange (I'm not normally an irritated person). I could not get settled.

Well, that was yesterday.

I woke up today with contractions and show. I'm still not convinced that it's going anywhere...

At least there's comfort (for me) in numbers. I'm glad I'm not alone!

[beckyand3littlemonsters]

don't know but have a very shourt fuse at the moment and the fact i'm now 4 days overdue and getting lots of fake contractions is not helping matters.

Add me to the incredibly irritated club. I just can't stand people right now. Any people. Even the ones I love--in fact, they're almost the worst because I have to be around them more than the others. The other ones that don't live in my home with me, I can just ignore or walk away from.

My husband and best friend were just joking about this the other night. With my last two pregnancies, I worked with my best friend. With this one I am at home, so they were complaining how nasty I can be when I am pregnant.

[rmzbm]

It IS frusterating, isn't it? The 1st thing I thought when I woke up this AM literally was "OMG, I'm getting my period!" Achy & gross to the extreme! And bitchy too. *sigh* Since I am 37.5 weeks...this could go on quite a while too! UGGGHHHH...

[healthnutmama]

My intuition was right. The baby is here!! My bitchy was b/c of impending labor for sure.

Add bitchiness to the list of signs of labor. LOL!!
