Lol well I havent been in labor for 5 years but as a labor and delivery nurse I can give you a few! some are not so pretty I will be gentle

- contractions that are less than 5 min apart

-contractions that you cannot walk or talk through

-your husband starting to look like he is the enemy for "doing this to you"

- you lost that pregnancy "glow"

-no matter how many pillows you put between your legs and behind your back the babys head feels like you are sitting on a grapefruit ;-)

best wishes on the new bundle of joy! 36 weeks is awesome one more week and that wee one will be ready for thier eviction papers
