- Waiting for signs of labor is like...
Holy crap The last few weeks of pregnancy are BRUTAL (and a total trip). Everything feels like a sign, you've googled "how to induce labor" 100x hoping you find a new secret you haven't tried.
Everyone is checking in on you to see if you've had the baby yet. But I swear for me, I've needed the full 40 weeks to full try and comprehend and even mentally prepare for what's about to happen. Knowing full well I have no facking clue what is coming having 2 children.
Waiting for labor signs are weird because you're just waiting for this huge monumental day that you don't know when will ACTUALLY happen or HOW it will go down! AND all of the signs of labor COULD be it... or maybe not.

I'm 39 weeks today with my first baby and I've never related more to a video in my life than this one. Omigoodness I feel insane. I've googled literally everything and I'm SO TIRED lol 😆
"Me AND the baby will be in diapers..." lmao!!! I don't know why, but that just tickled me, because of how true it is, hahaha!!!
That was hilarious! 😂
Yes girl! 39 weeks today waking up every morning like dang I'm still pregnant.
Right!!
Same! Ah! Baby come on out now!
Also 39 weeks and this baby is pretending like he doesn't know that it's time to come out 😅 pray for me yall 🙏
41 weeks pregnant , no signs ...this is such a crazy waiting game..been doing the sex, the walking, acupuncture. I'm ready for baby ! Guys help!
The water breaking comment made my giggle. My water broke with no contractions, and that kicked off 40 hours of labor ending in a C-section. She was not coming out lol! But hear me mamas- it was still the most amazing and wonderful experience of my life and I would do it again in a heartbeat!! Good luck everyone!!
I FEEL you on this. The more I learn about signs of labor the more annoyed I get because it doesn't mean ANYTHING. I'm 41 weeks and 3 days and soooooo done. Gonna get induced at 42 weeks if this baby doesn't come soon. Trying to stay positive and open to however this baby needs to come into the world. So hard to stay sane right now. Lol. Pray for me? 😅
Also, great video! Always love them!
How did you go?
@@DanceAddikt It actually went great! I did get induced which I initially felt really anxious about but then just decided to let that go and have peace. It was really intense and I had the stereotypical pit contractions. 😩 But it was good. Baby was 9 and a half pounds born vaginally and I didn't get an epidural. Now it's all in the past and I wouldn't want it any other way.
Lol you are hilarious and I completely relate to this!! 😂 I’m 37 weeks with my second and I feel insane looking up all the “signs” and wondering if everything means I’m going into labor…and then nothing happens. These last few weeks have been the most frustrating and funny time of my life…
As someone who made it to 42 weeks, I can absolutely relate! I also did hypnobirthing and didn't want to get induced, so my brain was constantly flip-flopping between the hypno side of things ("just relax, it'll happen when it's supposed to happen"), and the normal anxious mom side of things lol, which is everything you described. Tried everything possible to get baby out on his own but ended up getting induced at 42 weeks exactly. I'm now pregnant with my second and hoping I can experience a natural start this time!
in the same boat rn with the waiting game and needed this video so much!! so validating to know I’m not alone in losing my mind over being out of control of when baby will come! this is my first and I’m so ready to meet him and to not be pregnant anymore 🤣
also I JUST had that same anxiety spiral this week of googling what to do if you aren’t going to make it to the hospital & have to give birth in the car.
thank you so much for sharing! I love that we are all in this together!
omg yes, that conflicting thought you mentioned at the end of “I want this baby to come now” and “if labor started rn I would be way too tired” 🤣
You've got this!! Waiting is SO hard. Oddly I was kinda hoping to have my baby in the car because I was trying for a VBAC and knew that the doctors would only let me labor for so long so I thought if I showed up at the last possible second or even too late, that might be better. Crazy. Or maybe not.
I had a friend have her baby in the car. They pulled over, out popped baby. They called 911. Everyone was okay.
I had another friend have a baby in the hospital lobby. A stranger who was bringing his wife a pillow stopped and helped. Everyone was okay.
You really just never know how it's going to go. But then you'll get to meet him! Good luck!! Make sure to smell him a lot. Newborns smell so good.
40 weeks 2 days and I’ve never related more to a baby video in my entire pregnancy journey.
Oh goodness. Good luck! My second was born 40+3 and I felt I could see how much bigger my belly was each day. I hope it goes as smoothly as possible for you!!
I’m 40+2 too! I feeeeeel this 😭 Good luck!
Yes! Literally cried and laughed through this. FTM but I'm due the same day as you I think, and Im going absolutely crazy. 😭
4 months postpartum with my second...but I remember how hard the waiting was so I had to watch this video. My kiddo was born on Dec. 25th. On the 24th I woke up with an extreme need to get more food in the fridge. I spent the whole day grocery shopping and meal prepping with my 5 year old. The whole day...and then made brownies in the evening. This was more energy spent in one day than I'd had in MONTHS, so I thought something was up. Sure enough, 2am, water broke. 11:10 pm, baby was born.
I don't remember anything like this happening with my first, but with her I was still plenty energetic and actually sleeping all night, etc. so maybe it did but the difference wasn't as noticeable.
This all sounds so familiar! I’m at 38+4 weeks with our first baby and every tiny cramp I feel makes me wonder whether or not I’ll go into labour. I’m such a control freak and not knowing when it’ll happen is quite an issue for me. I wish there was a way to figure out when it’ll start.
Can’t wait to meet my baby!
Wishing everyone who’s waiting for their labour to start all the best and lots of strength!
So true! I have had 6 babies and the labors were all very different.😄 Good luck Shayla! Enjoy those babies/sibling fun, be gentle on yourself.
With my last baby, I had prodromal labor for 5 weeks. Ugh that was a doozy!
Omggggg what a mind game!
YAAAAASSSS!!! I’m 39 weeks today & you just hit every nail on the head re: how I’m feeling. Love reading the comments of fellow mamas too - it’s so nice to know I’m not alone in what feels like a pregnancy hamster wheel at this point… So thanks for sharing, Shayla & friends! Sending all you mamas love & positive vibes for a beautiful birth 💜
The baby shifting around and randomly pinching nerves in my leg near the end! Ugh 😂
I thought I was watching old videos still and then I noticed it says uploaded “20 hours ago” 😳😂
41 weeks today and everything you said resonates with me! No sign of this baby coming out and glad I’m not the only on struggling to sleep comfortably at night!
Thanks for sharing your journey- it helps 🙏🏼
Oh girl!!! Same here. 38 weeks and so so ready. Baby has dropped. Head is engaged. I also have a 16 month old so it’s crazy town in this house right now. Doing EVERYTHING to move things along. Extra breastfeeding, raspberry leaf tea, dates etc etc etc 😂 at least it’s a home birth so I don’t have to go anywhere 🙏🥰 best of luck Shayla!!!
This is my favorite type of Shayla video. That’s all. ♥️♥️
GOSH! Yu killing me😂😂..there's nothing left to google no more I find myself looking up things tht I've already looked and I feel like I'm goin crazy..im jus soo done, I've already cried too..38weeks
i love this energy!! 38 weeks and subscribed.
This video is 🙌🏼👏🏼 Literally everything you said I couldn’t have related more. I’m 40+1, been having on & off contractions, slowly losing my mucus plug over the last week, lightening is 😵💫😵. Trying everything & the anticipation is killing me.
Girl, 39 weeks and I’m literally going through everything and I mean everything you just said! Plus people asking every freaking hr. Is the baby is here! I’m losing it!
Thank you for this video!
Oh my gosh girl you are my pregnancy twin. Minus the fact that you are on your second, I am 39 and a half weeks today and twiddling it thumbs but also literally everything you said in this video lol. Loved this and appreciate the relatability. The damn internet am will make a mama crazy!
I just love you! You got this mama!
The last two weeks of pregnancy my feet and legs swelled up.. was very thirsty, blood pressure went up.. I was induced to prevent preeclampsia. I didn't go into it feeling like "it's time", more like "well ok but I don't have the baby's room ready!!". The relief after though is GOOD and reduced swelling- yessss! Excited for you- you got this!!
looking forward to that relief! 😅
Totally relating! Thank you!!
This is literally my life right now! Currently 39+3 with my 2nd and have recently decided that doctors know nothing about pregnancy 😂. Everything is a sign but it also means nothing! But that doesn’t stop me from searching random “symptoms” at 3AM or wondering if the tiniest sensation means labor is starting… It’s nuts knowing that doctors have no idea how, why or when labor starts but there’s a new ED med on the market almost every year 🤦♀️
Lol this video made me laugh bc everything you mentioned is happening in my life and brain. What a crazy time.
I also didn't know the dilation when midwife checked (doula and husband knew) and found it really helpful for keeping my mind in the moment and getting through each surge.
I had my first baby three months ago, and gave birth at exactly 39 weeks. I so wasn’t expecting it, so I didn’t have that much anticipation yet, as I thought I still had time as a FTM. For baby number two, within a few years, I will totally be anticipating it earlier.
I am kinda at the same stage as you and I LAUGHED SO HARD because it is INSANELY & INTENSELY relatable, THANK YOU!!! I am experiencing all of it, some same, some a bit different. No hunger, no space, then I want a huge gross greasy breakfast and I eat it WHOLE and I don't know how it all fit in. Nausea, heart burn, then nothing for days. Thirst like I want to drink the ocean, then no space to actually fit the water. Period cramps but it may be upset tummy from what I am eating?? Baby moves a ton some days, like she wants out already and she means it, husband jokes that she is trying hard to find the exit (Down lower, down lower!!), then she nozzles in sometimes into my pelvis while I am on a walk and hits nerves and I bend from the discomfort cause it's like a ghost punches you in the crotch, and I keep wondering if they're contractions too? First timer, I wouldn't know. Baby then is calm some hours and I start to worry but then she's like "no, still here yo" and I'm like AH THANK GOD. I THINK I lost my mucus plug slowly over the past month, but WHO KNOWS. I keep telling myself "Chill, don't be anxious" but I am just all anxious inside and I have all this very same buncha' symptoms that mean nothing and nothing is actually happening and I am 40 weeks in 2 days. I am reading Ina May's Spiritual Midwifery and it's a really soothing book. She had a baby 10 days late at some point and that calms me down, but it's still scary, like, the longer time passes the bigger that little head is gonna get and the harder it'll be to deliver - and I am aiming for a natural birth, but let's see how it goes. ALL THE BEST TO YOU :D
Haha you always make me laugh. A few weeks behind you with my first ....and Dr. Google always gives mixed signals.😋
I feel you 😂 40+2 now and I've lost bits of mucus plug, had spotting/bloody show, had upset tummy, a few random contractions and back pain.. Was convinced baby would be early.. And two weeks later I'm still pregnant 🫠
I’m currently 34 weeks and I have crazy heartburn so I walk around with tums, lighting crouch yes, crazy Braxton Hicks contractions yes, pubic pain yes, sleep sometimes! Just seems like all the things at once and I still got a month to go 😂😂
Most relatable video ever!!!
We are SO CLOSE 😍 I'm 39.5 weeks ( due in 2 days! 4/28) every contraction I have I think maybe it's time 😜 I feel you with the build up . So much nervous energy and trying to keep busy , yet knowing I should REST!!! This is my 6th pregnancy so I know the drill, yet it's still so hard to relax!
I feel the same way! This is my 3rd and I’m so ready for baby to be here!!!
I’m 37 weeks pregnant today with my first! My husband is out of town for a work trip and essentially on call to drop everything to come home if I go into labor so I’m paranoid that everything is labor! This video was so relatable for me. 😂 My Google history is just like yours and I’m scared to do anything to induce labor. Just stay put a little longer baby!
22 weeks now, and just saying thank you for making this video - and all the other ones. 😆
Yes!!! 39 weeks with my first today, and this is such a mind game! Gah, I really want to savour this time with him still in my belly, but I also just really want the labour to be done and have him in my arms already!
38+6 days today; been having Prodromal labor for the past week or so; overly exhausted, can’t sleep at night either. Waking up every morning praying today is the day, but as the day progresses feeling my energy drain and being afraid that I wouldn’t have the stamina needed for labor. 😮💨 *phew* wild ride these last few weeks/days.
I FEEL YOU!!!!
Thank you for this. Iʻm doing the waiting game right now. No idea if iʻm dialated, mucus plug less, or anything else. Just waiting at 40 weeks
My exact mood on all of these things 😂
Totally agree! Literally all those things have been happening to me for 4 weeks now... im at 41 weeks today and my belly has been dropped, ive been getting the lightening flashes, more heartburn, more peeing, smaller meals for 4 freaken weeks ahhhhggghhh!!! Its so frustrating!
I thought I was watching you have a full blown panic attack and then I realized I had it on 1.5 speed 😂😂
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Yes!! Everything.... 😂😂 40 weeks + 4 and I'm so over it!
I was getting PAINFUL contractions every 8 minutes last night. My lower back hurt and ✨lady parts✨ felt weirdly tight and uncomfortable. But then they slowed and I fell asleep. 🙃 and i have terrible lightning crotch during the day.
Second pregnancy and I’m due on the 8th! First time was twins and I had a c section and this time I’m trying to have a vbac so I’m really wanting to go soon because my dr won’t let me go past 41 weeks. I’ve been doing ALL THE THINGS! Lol good luck to all you mama’s out there!
Ugh I had stop and start contractions for freaking weeks! And some of them were bad, like I went to the grocery store and when I was in the parking lot I had the worst contraction and I left and went home because I was convinced I was about to have my baby. But I ended up going to 42 weeks and took 2oz castor oil so I could still have a home birth and not have a hospital induction. It worked like a charm and he was born in 5 hrs.
About to be 37 weeks and I’m already feeling like this😓 I’m going to be a crazy person if I go to my due date or BEYOND… ?!
Just here to say that the captions show "Braxton hicks" as "black snakes" and it's pretty hilarious.
Waaahaaa. Hear you. I had my second baby born via vbac on 11 April. A day before his due date. I was watching for every possible sign and nothing until the 10 April 2am woke up to a pop and gushing started then contractions started properly 12hrs later. Then mucus plug came out just before he arrived. You are going to drive yourself insane. All the best.
I'm 38+2 today with my first baby. My baby has been moving a lot more the past few days also. I just got a huge burst of energy this morning and feeling almost normal (well other than this enormous belly and puffy ankles lol). So ready to meet our little one!
Hahahaha funny how the definition of “normal” changes
Saw this in my recommended and clicked to watch. I just turned 35 weeks yesterday. This is my first. I too am like oh am I having signs labor maybe be approaching soon. What’s gonna happen in these next couple weeks. Come on baby girl! Been feeling crappy. Sleepy during the day but can’t get comfortable at night when it’s bedtime, aches & pains and yeah not much of an appetite. And Oh my goodness the heartburn/indigestion! I’ve had a couple people say my belly has dropped. I was awake this morning between 4-6am and eventually finally got back to sleep 😣
😥 the anxiety!
33 weeks, I hear ya! 🍀🍀🍀
So interesting about dropping! I never dropped with my first baby.
I also got a cervical check (no membrane sweep) and was 1 cm. Doc said no baby this week. I went into labour 2 days later 💁♀️
I don't have lightening crotch. I have lightening BUTTHOLE. it was happening so much at lunch the other day I was convinced I was going into labor 😂
I can so relate to this right now
Clicked here because the first second of the video is me af rn 😂 39weeks 5days 😭😭😭
39 weeks with my first over here, and yeah, it's like...all the signs that could or could not happen, yay! No amount of books or blogs can prepare me for this; I just hope my doula will have time to get here when the action starts.
So relatable! I had contractions that make me think the baby could have come 3 weeks earlier that eased off I stayed home went to hospital five minutes away had same contractions in car and hall of hospital didn't think anything about it. Water broke as i changed into my gown by myself. husband was down stairs had the baby right then with out husband around. Thought I had more time all the signs were so spread out by days and up to a month. This second pregnancy birth just happened on its own by the way the Dr was running from the parking lot got there in time to catch the baby.
I wore an eye mask in pregnancy to help with sleep and then wore a cool beads mask during labor and it really helped with hypnobirth, I didn’t even have the sound.
lol! yeeesss! At 36weeks & on, every time I called someone they picked up like “OMG! Are you in labor!?” or “Did you have the baby?!”
38 weeks and this is SO relevant.
I'm only 33 weeks but the baby feet in my diaphragm are killing me. Not kicking. Just stretching and pushing all the time! A few more weeks before I'm on labor watch!
Yes! I thought my baby was going to crack a rib. It's so uncomfortable. Good luck. This part's hard. Waiting but also feeling ready to be finished.
Happy to be out of this phase. I was soooo worried all the time. I remember I did some birth ball execise the days leading up to labour. One day it felt painful doing this. So I decided to just sit on the couch, watch TV and relax. That evening I went into labour. And things happened fast! I never saw my mucus plug and I wasn't dilated before. It just happened all at once and now I am having this baby and it's still crazy to me how that happened. 😅
I can totally relate to this. I'm 38 weeks and 4 days. Scheduled for a csection this coming Monday with my second.
I'm currently 30 weeks with my first child so just trying to mentally prepare myself! I am excited for the baby to come but terrified of the labor part!
Congrats! Have you been looking into hypnobirthing? It really helped me as i used to be terrified to the point where i was considering just not having kids. I went into lanor naturally and calm and in control :)
And I found HeyShayla this way by searching on YT for hypnobirthing stories😌
This is soooo me right now!🤣
Haha I can’t believe this was me almost a month ago. Pregnancy is so amazing yet so crazy.
I had my baby 6 days ago and boy am I glad that I'm not pregnant anymore 😂
Oh my gosh the heartburn the last few weeks… so bad. Labor heartburn was even worse. Soooo bad.
I never got to this stage- I gave birth at 38+1 but I was convinced she would come late (I was thinking 42weeks!) so I was pottering around at home, had only just finished work for my mat leave lol. I wasn’t done being pregnant at all!
I am seeing a midwife for my first pregnancy. I'm at 34 weeks. I asked her when do they check my cervix for dilation and she said they won't before I go into labor. then maybe once or twice while I'm at the hospital, if I want. they are so hands off I love it.
With my two sons I had them both at 38weeks and some days. So when I went 40 weeks and 5 days with my girl I was so ready to be done! Lol
I ate a whole pineapple, I did the breast pump method and clary sage oil.
I rubbed the clary sage with olive oil on my belly and I put some on a cloth to smell throughout the evening. Then about two hour later labor started and she was born after four hours of labor.
I was desperate because I was scheduled for an induction at 41 weeks. Thankfully I didn’t have to have an induction, I had one with my first son, which wasn’t ideal. Hang in there though, you are almost done!
My mucus plug came out a few days ago, I lose more bit by bit every day lol. I’m 37 weeks and 4 days. I’ve had Braxton hicks since September, they intensified or started feeling crampy recently but they aren’t consistent. I have the poops! No one tells you about that 😂 I’m dilated to a 1, which my aunt in law likes to brag about how she was at a 3 when she was 36 weeks lol. End of pregnancy is a mind game but I’ve come to a similar conclusion: until I am in full blown no doubts about it labor, I’m done symptom obsessing. I don’t want to know where my cervix is at with dilation until THE DAY I’m just done with it all. I’ll be 38 weeks this Friday, FTM here.
I’m 37 weeks and my nesting has come back full force! I’m reorganizing everything😂. I get bursts of energy then I get pooped! So much pressure in my pelvis!
Best video ever! Im 40ws today! 🤪
The water breaking thing is so true! I thought I had peed myself a bit until it kept coming out. lol. And I still had to get Pitocin. Now I'm going for my second scheduled cesarean (3rd overall). It's so much easier knowing a specific date like that. Although since it's my third pregnancy, I'm worried about going into labor early and having to have another "emergency" cesarean. Keep fingers crossed for me ya'll! lol
Omg I’m in the same boat! I’m pregnant with my first and also 38 weeks. And it’s honestly a waiting game at this point. And all the signs of labor are terrible indicators haha I had to stop googling them.
SOOOO EXCITED ABOUT THE PLACENTA ENCAPSULATION!!!!
I was also 5cm from literally 35 weeks till 40 weeks 2 days…. Sooo annoying!
Yup. You summed it up. You have no idea when baby is coming or how long it'll take for the grand exit. It's a lesson in parenting right there. You can plan all you want, but you can only control what you can control -- and in birth that's often not much.
Never saw my mucus plug with the first and it came out in the tub with the second. My super helpful husband's response was asking if I'd pooped in the tub while I'm in labor. 😆 First of all, nope. Second of all, even if I did, that's not even a tiny concern when you feel like the devil is clawing your spine from the inside.
34 weeks and having some signs of impending labor. OB put me on modified bed rest to hopefully wait two weeks but it's a definite limbo that I don't appreciate.
Oh, good luck!
Ohhh i feel you😮💨 im 37weeks and done.
But i know we’re not there yet because my first and second were like 41/42 weeks so🫥😭
I have this intense heartburn while sleeping-when i can sleep- and im fasting so i cant take anything tums or even water😢
Ahhh may allah reward us mothers for all hardships of pregnancy and labor.
I went into the hospital to get induced at 40+10, had baby at 40+12. The wait drove me crazy!
Yep, I lots my mucus plug and had bloody show 25 days before my first was born.
And then with my second I had really consistent contractions that I thought for sure were labor, my husband took of work and everything, and then they stopped for a week.
WILD!!!
I was 39+1 weeks when my waters broke randomly at Holy Thursday Mass when I was singing in the choir. Thankfully it wasn't a huge gush, just little trickles. Started labour soon after and gave birth the next day on Good Friday! Saw mucus plug maybe a week before, no other real signs.
I'm 39+1 and also googling everything that happens to me.. haha. I also wasn't dilated enough at my 39 week appointment to get a membrane sweep, so I feel like this baby is never going to come!
Omg I've been having contractions for a week! Not only that but frequent bm and pressure on my pelvis and lower back just for this lady to tell me I'm 1cm!🤦🏾♀️ this is my 3rd baby and I still can't tell if labor is close or not!
This is soooo relatable right now 🤣 if anyone were to look at my Google search history from this week it's 100% "is ____ a sign of labor"
34 weeks pregnant with my second.. my first is only ten months soon to be 11 in a week lol. I’m not sure if it’s cause it’s my second and they’re close together but I’m already feeling super uncomfortable, can barely sleep and insanely huge. Like this baby feels just as big as my first at 39 weeks. I’m just like, how can you continue to grow!!? But apparently she’s at a normal size for how far along I am ( yea ok ) anyway love your videos, I’m striving for a natural unmedicated birth this time around. My first labor was fast and smooth, so I’m just anxious to see how this time around will go.
Second pregnancies ARE harder bc we’re also taking care of someone else!! Haha
I waited for all the things. They checked all the things. Nothing Nothing NOTHING! I started getting mildly depressed of the waiting and late pregnancy misery. The doctor got antsy too and sent me for an ultrasound. They basically tell me she's huge and not fitting into my pelvis. After much deliberation, we opt for a cesarean. The day I go in for pre-op, I notice these little pulses in my belly. According to the nurse, they're contractions. 😳 So.....yeah I had her that night. The end lol
At 39 weeks with my second baby I knew I was going to into labor before 40 weeks. My body was so tired, I was sleeping and resting a lot more than usual, and I just had that gut feeling. I had no other signs but those listed. I had my baby at 39 +5!
And second babies come FAST!! So definitely head to your birth location sooner than you think you need to! I almost didn’t make it to the hospital 😅
This is my third and I'm just in the 2nd trimester. My first...my water broke on the due date and then crazy labor started right away. My second I lost the mucus plug at 35 weeks and labor started at 36w 6d. But I just didn't feel well that day. Like kinda crampy but slept and it kept waking me up. Went to the hospital and ended up with a big ol preemie. You're right. All labor is different and you can't be sure until you're contracting regularly. How fun. Lol
random question - do you know the wall color behind you? its such a nice soft green!
I started experiencing lightning crotch (baby hitting those nerves) at maybe 32 weeks. It's getting stronger and more frequent. I'm currently 35 weeks. Also don't have a huge appetite. Nesting has been on and off. I relate to you on a lot of this despite you being a month ahead. So unless I end up having a premature baby, it seems these "signs of labor" are definitely unreliable and vary by pregnancy a lot lol.
I am curious to hear when was your baby born? I am in the exact same situation; 35 weeks today and so many "signs" and pains. This is my third baby and I have never been this fed up with a pregnancy. 😅
For my first labour I felt my baby drop a few hours before, this time around I started to drop around 35 to 36 weeks, 39 weeks and still no signs yet.
I definitely think this crazy energy level in this video is a sign of imminent labor. Lol Like the second you feel like slowing down and relaxing, you're gonna have a baby. 😂
