Contractions that start & stop a few hours later

Started having mild contractions at 8pm which carried on until 2am, they were anything between 5 minutes apart to an hour.
I’m hoping it means I’ll go into labour soon or is that wishful thinking lol

I had this on and off for about 10 days before my labor started. I’d say labor is just around the corner!

I have been having this since Sunday. I was told it could last a few days and just try to rest and eat and drink as much as possible

It can last a day or it can last weeks. Really hard to know. Irregular contractions are really common in the final weeks

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?
