Labour or nah?
Honestly not sure im experience false labour idk or early labour. Last 2 nights been having tightening every 10-15 minutes, nothing too painful, a little crampy and some back pain but worser last night than the night before and same for the day. But it frizzles to every 20-30 mins during the day.
I did read online that contraction can be a little more at night due to release of certain hormones.
But honestly hoping this is early labour

Yes could definitely be the start of early labour! I would start timing contractions if you can. Theres a good app called Freya where you can time them. It’s £5 but it also tells you when you need to go to hospital. Might also be worth calling your midwife too just to check in 😊.
Please don’t wait for a mucus plug or waters to break as sometimes this doesn’t happen at all (my first birth waters broke just before baby arrived and I never lost my mucus plug. I also went to 4cm dilated/active labour without a single contraction or symptom). Trust your instinct and get advice directly from midwives if in doubt. Good luck 🥰
I’ve had the same the last two days but with a lot of pain in the last 20 hours. Painful contractions, so frequent in the night but now only once every 40 mins.
Latent labour - really hoping it turns into the next stage soon as I can barely walk and worry this will be on and off for days!
I’d definitely call to ask your questions to your birth unit etc and find out more. I was so confused yesterday and now just lying here in pain hoping it progresses soon!
Good luck! X
