"A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on."
With my first I DIDN'T go into labor, I walked in two weeks overdue and they broke my water to get things going.
With my first, i had no clue, i was about 3 days past my EDD, and it was the day after easter, i woke up feeling just awful, kinda sick to my stomach. I thought i ate something bad but it wouldnt go away, so my mom drove me to the hospital, they checked me and i was 5 cm already, but nothing painful like i though contractions would be. they broke my water, and then the contractions atarted about 20 min later, very fast and very painful :(
