I keep getting really strong contractions which last for a few minutes, but they are like 2-3 hours apart. My midwife says i'm already 2cm dilated and most of my mucus plug has come away. I had a sweep yesterday morning, and i've had quite a consistent bit of show yesterday nd some thi morning.Last night the baby was moving around a HELL of a lot to the point it was very painful. I also keep getting very sharp twinges in my vagina, a lot of the time when shes moving, but sometimes out of the blue and it feels like shes pushing her way down. Sometimes i feel her press very hard against my lower spine. The contractions are very painful and moving or changing position doesn't stop them, they start off mild, then build in intensity then trail off which can be up to about 2 minutes, but they're miles apart. My midwife told me they wont be braxton hicks this far along. I don't know what i can do to make things progress so i'm slightly in limbo. Also my contractions today are brought on when i pee. so confused its my first baby and i don't know quite what to do with myself. please help .. .
Also i have tried the following:
.raspberry leaf tea
.evening primrose
.pineapple
.circular rotations on a birthing ball
.bouncing on a birthing ball
.sex
.spicy food
.walking
