Slow labour ?

My second labour was a bit like this, I would have contractions in the morning then they would stop and start again in the night, maybe a few during the day but no pattern. I started to lose my mucus plug as well. This went on for 3 days, on the 3rd evening they started again and got more regular. Around midnight my app told me I was in active labour but it was still very manageable so I wasn’t sure whether to call the hospital or not but did and they told me to come in and my baby was born less than 2 hours after arriving

Try nap in the day! Sounds like your body is gearing up but rest if that’s what you feel you need!

@Jessica yeah see I think this is how mine is looking also cause I’ve had a couple today but nothing like last night it’s so confusing cause now I’ve not had any sleep at all and if their coming again at night then I won’t sleep again so it’s confusing aswell when to no when to go in because what if they just stop again when I wake up or if I think that and don’t go in and actually I’m in established labour , I just want my waters to break so i no I can go in xx

@Lottie thankyou I will do that , I’ve heard about this gearing up I just want to make sure I get to the hospital in enough time as I want a epidural xx

Mine did this - I was so exhausted and lay down and tried to get some rest and when I woke up they had stopped. I my waters had already broken so had to go in to be induced after 24hrs

My waters never broke until I had an examination. How has the rest of the day gone?

Prodromal labor! I had this for about a week and then contractions finally stayed regular and got super painful and I knew it was time! Good luck!

I was in labour for like 3 days got sent home the first day as was only 1cm but contracting ever 10mins then next day was every 4mins and was only 2cm then they were every like 2 minutes and I was only like 3cm and was like that for a full day and a half … was horrific so painful was screaming for hours and hours and they weren’t giving me gas and air until I was 4cm was brutal spent so long in labour then had the epidural was another 10 hours they popped my waters at the loke 6 hour mark waited another 4 hours still was at 4cm then gave me hormone injection within an hour was fully dilated and had to get emergency section was not fun

Mine were like this for a week with my first. Night before my waters went they just got more intense but still bareable and manageable for me to stay at home, so as soon as they eased off I slept comfortably managed a good 4hr sleep then bam woke up went to toilet walked around a bit as felt like I needed to walk around, next thing I know contractions started again very fast and every 5mins then my waters went. Although all that happened in a short space of time I was in labour at hospital total of 36hrs before I ended up needing an emergency csection. Even then I had most of my pain in my lower back, it felt pretty much like my usual back ache but slightly more tense, so just breathed through it all until I had gas and air for pain relief it just relaxed me so I slept then in between contractions up and until I needed the epidural for c section .
