How did natural childbirth start for you? Did you have regular practice contractions? Or can the process begin very unexpectedly?

I was also curious about how everything would begin. For some women, training contractions can occur several days or even weeks before labor, helping the body get prepared. For others, everything happens very quickly and unexpectedly, without clear warning signs. So, in any situation, it's best to be prepared and have everything you need on hand.

There were no training sessions. My water simply broke, and that was all.

The first time was a practice. The second time, contractions started immediately and occurred at regular intervals.

Both times, I experienced contractions approximately every 40 minutes, and then the intervals gradually decreased. I called an ambulance. Both times, my water broke about 5 minutes before I started pushing.

The contractions are just false alarms—first labor, just water breaking... A lot of water... And that's all. No contractions, nothing.

The training sessions began at 20 weeks. On the day before my delivery, I left the doctor’s office in tears because she said that my cervix was not at all ripe or ready for labor. That night, my waters broke, and I went to the maternity hospital. Two days prior, I had been feeling nauseous, vomiting, and frequently going to the bathroom.

I haven't had any contractions during training, and my waters didn't break. The pain started to intensify in the morning; a shower didn't help, and it kept getting stronger and stronger. However, I was already at the maternity hospital under observation. We checked, saw that the cervix was open by 2 fingers, then they broke the bag of waters, and I gave birth quickly.

Talantseva Evgeniya Oh! For two days, my body was cleansing itself before labor, I was running to the toilet, and the baby was very active in the evening.

I didn't have any contractions. On the day of my due date, I started feeling abdominal pulling in the morning, and the pain intensified throughout the day. By lunchtime, I was already timing contractions. I arrived at the maternity hospital around 5 p.m. and gave birth at 8 p.m.

The waters have passed, but a few days earlier, I experienced constant stiffness in my abdomen. Everything would cause tension, even when I got out of bed and went to the bathroom.

I started having contractions that were initially mild and lasted all day. By evening, they became stronger, so I decided to go to the maternity hospital. It turned out that I was already 3 centimeters dilated.

I arrived early at the maternity hospital. On Monday, they wanted to start stimulation since I would have been 40 weeks and 3 days pregnant. However, by Friday evening, I couldn't fall asleep at all. It was very difficult; I kept tossing from side to side trying to find a comfortable position. Suddenly, I heard a popping sound, like an air bubble bursting. I went to the bathroom, and my waters broke. After that, contractions began, and I was transferred to the delivery ward.

There were no symptoms at all, except for a premonition that I would give birth early. And it turned out to be true: at 36 weeks and 1 day, around 5 a.m., my waters broke, and by 6:17 p.m., this exciting adventure came to an end.
