Any advice for irregular contraction’s?
I had contractions from 9pm last night till early this morning. Slept thru most of it. Roughly 10 mins apart. Then disappeared. They restarted again later this morning after a walk and then this afternoon they’re 2/3 mins apart but then the odd one is 10 mins or more apart.
Never had this with my first child. Is this not actually labour? Has anyone had this and then labour started soon or is this me for days / weeks now? I’m 40 weeks.

I’ve been similar today, but the contractions seem to be more intense even when I’m lying down now (also 40 weeks)
mine was like this which started on thursday and gave birth on saturday but during each examination they said its normal because the cervix has to go through various different processes of thinning, moving and dilating so the timings can fluctuate. I bought a second hand birthing ball off fb to help with moving right at the end because I couldn't sit comfortably or walk very far I think helped but it might just be a bit of a waiting game.

Are they painful? Sounds imminent to me and similar to my experience. 10 mins apart Thursday night, stopped by Friday morning, sporadic throughout the day on Friday and was pushing by 11pm on the Friday night
