Anyone else had braxton hicks contractions for a whole day on off... Ive been in triage today about it

Proper period like cramps with tightening. Doesnt seem to be easing 😮‍💨 but got sent home all fine saying yes the monitor has picked up contractions every 4ish mins, they checked my cervix and had no signs of labour starting so hmmmm... anyone else in same position, or been in same position.. really hope it calms when I go to bed as paracetamol isnt helping either 😞

I had this with my first, got sent back home too. I spent 4-5 days like that unfortunately, then my hindwater broke, checked at the hospital, got send home again. 24 hours later it was still inly every 5-12 minutes, and was able to talk through the pain. (It was still painful tho).
So I ended up on the pitocin drip. My girl really didn’t want to come out, gave birth 40+10

Well in triage again, and waters have broke and mucus plug is going. They gave me a decision of being induced or c section. Ive gone for induced as had that with my last. So, doesnt look like it will be long till little one will be here 🙈 xx *not induced, hormonal drip thing to quicken the contractions as they ideally want him out in next 24 hrs to prevent infection xx

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.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
