Early Labour or Braxton hicks

Sounds like start of something Braxton hicks wont follow a pattern and will disappear with change of position and if you drink something ect.

This was start of labour for me! I was in denial but then the real contractions came 😂

Sounds like early labour starting. Braxton hicks are random that come and go throughout the day without a pattern and shouldn’t last more than 20 second. Good luck😊x

I was really getting my hopes up but they seem to be dying down again now😥

I was stalling/starting for 3 days, day 4 I was not much different but I could just sense it was slightly different that day and filled the pool more for my own enjoyment than anything. I still thought maybe it’ll be tomorrow? But that day about 12pm I was walking the dog but very uncomfortable, 4-4:30pm ish waters broke and contractions became consistent and felt very different, I think maybe it was 5:15-5:30 I started to push and contractions came too close together! Little girl was born 6:02pm Tuesday. Honestly I’d forgotten just how intense it all is in the newborn stage and with all the postpartum care and checkups, it’s hard to even get round to brushing my teeth. So my advice is enjoy some peace and quiet, hands free time and do some ‘self care’ like plucking eyebrows, shaving/waxing, arranging a breastfeeding station is you plan to bf, with snacks/charger at hand, flask of water, books etc etc. stay well hydrated and well nourished good wise until baby is here. Mainly rest!
