It could be early labour if just mild. Contractions should get more and more intense as labour goes on!

Okay so best if I wait and just see if they get intense for now? :)

Ooo, you could be in the 5%! Good luck 🥰🥰

It's hard to say because everyone is so different. I just remember with my first when things really got going I couldn't talk during a contraction. Keep timing them and I suppose the rule is 3 "surges" in 10mins lasting at least 45 seconds which it looks like you are. Maybe call triage for reassurance?

You can have this on and off for few days. It can also stop altogether for a while or progress to more regular and stronger ones. Once you experience 3 in 10mins lasting min 45sec and you find it difficult to breathe through them, call the hospital. They will be able to assess whether you're ready to come in over the phone (that's usually when you're not able to talk to them because of the intensity of surges ;))

Thank you so much mamas 🥰❤️
I will then wait and see how it goes. I just called triage and she told me to wait and see and it goes and give them a call again if I am unable to speak or I Break my waters or loose my mucus plug (with a bit of blood in it)

Hope you're ok!! Good luck!

Thank you!!!! I am weirdly waiting for it to build up! I want my baby to be here 🥹
I feel dizzy and not really good but waiting and waiting to see how it goes!

Little updates!
I have been to triage as I started to feel nauseous and more paon in my belly. Apparently I might be in early labour but she said it can take hours or days for me to be in proper labour. She didn't wanted to do a cervix examination to avoid any risks of infection.

So now... I'll wait. I have contractions every 10 mins but need more than that per 10 mins and pain to the point I cannot talk to be in ''proper'' labour! :)

Hopefully it's not too much a wait for you!!!

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
