Stop start labour - tips? Discussions? Distractions!

I’m 41+4 and been having contractions for the last 42 hours, really went through it last night and was having strong contractions 3 in 10 mins, called triage and they said I could come in but suggested I stay home so I stayed home, ended up subsiding to 10-15 mins apart through the night so managed to rest, and been on and off throughout today, waters trickled around 1pm today so been in but ultimately decided to come home again as contractions only at 10-15 mins still and wanted to be comfy! Induction booked for 1pm tomorrow but I imagine I might labour again before then.

Had a rest this evening and still sparse contractions, anyone going through/been through the same? Feeling back up in higher spirits again now but just in limbo!

All low risk and movements are good btw!

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?
