Is false labour really this long?

Hiya ladies Just wanna see if anyone else has had this experience and it turned out to be just braxton hicks or false labour. I’ve had braxton hicks before and it’s not been like this. Last night period like cramps woke me up at midnight and kept me awake til 2am, then I managed to fall asleep but cramps woke me up again at 4am - 5.30am. I had nothing then until around 10am - 12 then the cramps stopped for two hours then returned around 2pm, lasted two hours then stopped for an hour and now they have been back an hour. Baby is moving around fine. What is going on???

My first labour was like this 🥺 sending love mama. Xxxxx

With my second I got contractions that started at 6:00 am and wasn’t regular at all, I went to the hospital at 14:00 and they said it doesn’t look like an active labor, it was getting stronger and stronger but never regular I went again at 19:00 and again sent home, then went again at 22:00 and had my baby at 2:00, so if you feel like your contractions are getting stronger go to hospital and let them check you, it varies how fast you can be dilated, so in my opinion it’s safer to go to hospital when you feel like you need to

Good luck and best wishes 💐💐

@Leanne thanks hun xxx

@Sajeda thanks for your help hun xxx

I started getting this and was told it was early Labour especially because they kept getting closer together so keep an eye on the pattern if they get closer together then call up triage and see what they say x

@Kally thanks hun x

@Danielle Dee no worries hope everything is ok x

I had false labor for weeks 😅 it sucks for sure

I’ve been in latent labour for a week 😭 my midwife saw me Wednesday and said baby will like be here by Tuesday but still not sign just blocks of irregular contractions of varying intensity then poof they’re gone 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Kirsty I've had the exact same for the last week. It really sucks!!

Oh nooo! It’s exhausting

@Elli oh nooo. How did u know when the real thing came? x

@Kirsty I hope these games stop soon hun! Do u get much relief from them? X

@Danielle Dee to be honest, I do as it’s not constant, when they stop on my on the ball trying to kick start them again 😂 it’s just more frustrating like come on baby we want to meet you 🥰

@Danielle Dee I knew it was the real thing when my water broke, I went to the hospital and went from the start of active labor to having him in less than 2 hours

I had this for a few weeks before my daughter finally arrived !

@Elli thanks hun x

@Filipa every few hours every day??? 😱
