I’m currently timing what I think might be contractions. They are really low down pains and in my vagina. My stomach does tighten during them but it’s more of an after thought in comparison to the pains. I have been pooping constantly for about 30 mins during all of this. Very soft etc. My first pregnancy my waters broke, and only then did I start feeling contractions all in my back and bum, they were intense and honestly the pain was constant right up to the end. Is this labour or is this me being a giant baby?

It could be them engaging? Or the start of early labour x

Possibly very early labour, they like contractions to last at least a minute every 5 minutes for an hour for it to be considered active labour x

Could be the start of early labour. What are you using to track your contractions? Is it an app? Looks really good x
