Hello, first time poster and ftm here so not sure at all what to expect.
I'm 41 weeks today and I've been having contractions since about 10 yesterday morning, which didn't settle into any pattern or become too painful so I didn't feel like I had to bother with going to the hospital.
26 ish hours later and I'm totally fed up - still no pattern, seem to have tailed off through the night while I tried to sleep, and have only just started picking up in intensity now (but still not anywhere near every 5 minutes) and I feel like my body just isn't doing it's job.
It also doesn't help that MIL has informed that whole side of the family and is calling every few hours to check if my waters have broken and telling me to go to the hospital even though I know they'll just send me away.
I guess the point of this post is for someone to tell me yes, what I'm going through is totally normal and it'll all be over soon!? I'm at my wits end here.
