You will KNOW. Trust me on this one, when labor starts, you will KNOW. I remember getting annoyed while pregnant and asking this, and being told that I would know. That's the only way to describe it. Your natural instincts will kick in and help you deliver your wonderful baby into this world. Good luck and congratulations!! Oh, yeah, and GET THE EPI!!!!!

As you know, everyone is different. The length of your labor and deliver cannot be gaged accurately. Labor and deliver can last anywhere from just a few hours to a day or so.
Labor pains feel like menstrual cramp or diarrhea cramps. It is not all as bad as people tell you. I was in labor for 21 hours and then had a c-section. The recovery from the c-section hurt more than the actual labor pains. But I would relive the incredible weekend I gave birth to my baby girl over and over again! It was so incredible! Congrats!

It varies so much from woman to woman that there is really no point in trying to guess how yours will be. There are a couple of factors though. First children normally give a longer labour and you are more likely to need to be induced with a first child. Being induced often leads to a fast onset of full labour which can seem very painful as there has been no gradual build up to it. I was induced and went from no pain to a lot of pain in a matter of minutes.

Every pregnancy is different but with my 3 i had the same labor pains with each. They started out as a cramping backache, accompanied by diarrhea. They slowly moved into my abdomen and felt like period cramps. they got stronger and became regular. I was also in full labor by the time i lost my plug and my water broke so dont wait for either of those things to happen. good luck and i hope i helped. ")

I was told by a lot of different women during my first pregnancy that labor would feel like strong menstrual or bowel cramping, but it didn't at all. All the pain was in my back, but it hurt so bad I knew it must be labor. The point is, everyone's different, but don't worry. When you're in labor, you will know it.
Congrats and good luck!

there are two types of labor pains: (1)false and (2)true
What Does Labor Feel Like?
From the intense, cramping pull or squeeze of the dilating contractions to the profound stretching sensation as the baby's head moves down the birth canal, labor is characterized by powerful feelings. Some women describe the dilating contractions in terms of a more familiar sensation -- a cramp, like a menstrual cramp; a charley horse; a gas pain; or a feeling of rectal pressure. One mother says her contractions were like "strong gas pains, tremendous pressure around the pubic area." Another describes labor as "huge waves, like diarrhea cramps, one after the other." Still another says, "My labor felt like extraordinarily severe menstrual cramps with a lot of pressure on the rectum, like constant pressure to have a bowel movement."
Easing Labor Pain: The Complete Guide to a More Comfortable and Rewarding Birth Confronting the intensity of pain before you give birth may motivate you to learn ways of dealing with it more adequately when you're actually in labor. In fact, a study published recently in Birth suggests that women with higher levels of fear before their first childbirth class actually reported less anxiety during labor and delivery. The authors concluded that these women probably had dealt with their concerns before they went into labor.
One woman, for example, coped with the pain by envisioning the purpose of each contraction: "I visualized my uterus rising up and pulling back, opening the cervix more and more with each contraction."

How long labor will be? No one can tell you how long that will take. But I can tell you that labor pains feel like really bad menstrual cramps.
