Labour ?

Hey guys, so I had a sweep Thursday 10am at 39+3 and was having light contractions that got a bit more painful around 11pm. Went to hospital as they picked up and was every 3 mins lasting 1 min a time. Got checked and had progressed since my sweep but not actually in active labour. Got sent home but was given codine so I could sleep. On the Friday day I had less frequent and not as strong contractions and managed to sleep on the Friday night waking up a few times in the night. Roll around Saturday I had light contractions since 2pm which gained in pain and all lasting about a minute but not consistent again. Ranging every 3-10 mins. I lost my mucus plug at 9pm. I haven’t slept since and haven’t called the hospital. Should I call as the pain is quite intense. But I also do know they don’t really want me there till the contractions are regular. I’m now 39+6 and just shattered because I can’t sleep and when I try I get woken up as soon as I drift off. I’ve tried paracetamol and all the other bits they say to try as well bath etc

You can always call, tell them the situation and how frequent the pains are and see what they suggest x

@Sam called and they kinda just it is what it is at the moment and said keep taking painkillers until I have 4 contractions every minute

@Tia that's a shame! Just remember every contraction is one step closer to meeting your baby, and one less contraction to get through!! I hope things pick up quickly for you and you have your baby in your arms soon xx
