What did you do the night before you went into labor?

[ladymouse]

For those who went into labor naturally (whether or not you had a vaginal birth), what did you do the night before?  Anything different from your usual routine?

Nothing weird here! Had a dr appointment the day before (no cervix checks or anything else that could be considered I intrusive), has a normal day of feeling fine and taking care of DS, read him his story good night and everything. Woke up a little after 3am and had a baby less than 4 hours later lol! In fact, that was last Thursday morning! Ah! One week ago already!

Ate Taco Bell. And I ate it again last night in the hopes it would jump start something. I got nothing.

Nothing different than any other night. Laid on the couch after putting LBB to bed and watched a movie with DH.

Watched Mad Max in the theatre, and was incredibly tense the whole time! Then came home and had sex, which was the first time in over a month.

+1 on this. Except we laid in bed and watched tv.

I did notice that I truly was a raving bitch the day or two before going into labor.

With DS, I went to a steak house and had a huge burger and fries. My mom comes to town today and I'm seriously considering making reservations at that same restaurant again!

I was walking around a ton that day and came home and bounced on my birthing ball as it was the only thing that made my hips feel better.

Went on a long evening hike w DH and DS. Ate a ton. Pooped more then usual.

Hmm, maybe my time is coming! I'm ready to throwdown with practically everyone I've come in contact with today. I need to chill and eat some cookies, I think.

I have a raging desire for cookies, ice cream, cake - I dreamed about them all night.  (My post-dinner glucose last night was 66.  Fasting isn't supposed to drop below 60.  Can I stop eating like a diabetic already?)  Does that count?

Ate rally's after I closed at work at slept on the couch.

Love this thread! I'm going to do everything you ladies did before going into labor

Get this baby outta me!

[periwinkledaydreams]

I suddenly feel a bit more positive about the possibility that I've been such a crazy bitch lately

[a5swanson]

I went on a 2.5 mile walk! Waddled around but I think it did the trick!!

We came back from spending the weekend at DH's parents. Went to church and spent Sun afternoon napping, but Sat we went fishing along the river and then took a very bumpy 4 wheeler ride. I didn't feel different when I went to work on Monday but my water broke a couple hours after I'd gotten home.

[jcprn]

Worked all day. Made some tacos for DH and I for dinner. Then we took one of our dogs to a creamery in town and I had some chocolate ice cream. Went to bed at 9 and woke up at 1230 to my water breaking (37w 3d).

Nothing weird here!!
Came home from work, made some chicken enchiladas, had dinner with DH, watched Master Chef, cuddled in bed, asleep by 10pm. Woke up to my water breaking at 1am.
I made a shit ton of enchiladas though and I was mad my leftovers for lunch for the week went to waste!
The only thing different is baby boy was not moving a lot the entire day. Before bed I was complaining to DH that i was worried something may be wrong. Nope, he was just quietly planning his escape.
