Have felt like I'm in the latent phase of labour for past 2 days now. Thought this part would be way quicker with a 2nd birth, is anyone else on a 2nd+ birth and stuck at this stage too? Is it likely to last days/ weeks?

I’ve been in latent labour since last Tuesday 2nd baby 😭 it’s exhausting I’m so over it and they won’t do anything to speed it up I could cry I’ve been trying EVERYTHING!

Honestly same had a very fast first birth at 38 weeks 5 and now 39 weeks pregnant and 3 occasions have had contractions for 4 hours that haven’t ramped up and just stopped, lost my plug and back ache diarrhoea, emotional ect all the signs are there except proper contractions it’s driving me mad !
Oh no bless you, hope things progress for you soon!! Everything I've read just says about how much quicker a second birth is, but this stage has already been way longer than with my first and hasn't ramped up at aaall. Stressful wait isn't it 😫
ugggh so stressful isn't it, especially having other lil ones to sort child care for at the drop of a hat, I don't know when to start taking these signs seriously!
