Early labour???

I was with my first but he was still 2 days late🥲

So my first I was 3 days over but I had period cramps all day that got progressively worse and as tbey got closer together I started the timer and it said vet yours bags ready and go to the hospital but then they'd fizzle out and start again. Called MAU to be told to wait until waters break. My water broke and they had meconium in them but my contractions weren't strong enough and stayed irregular because my waters had meconium in them ( brown not clear) they told me to come in and good thing I did because I never mad either passed 6cm

You’re in labour, just the early stages. Once you’re in established labour those contractions you’re feeling will be more frequent, longer and stronger. How long early labour lasts is different for everyone though, fingers crossed it isn’t too long for you x

My friend was in early labour for 3 weeks she woke up one day to a wet bed and had the baby 20 hours later
