Hi All,
So. Despite doing antenatal classes I’ve realised I have no idea how to tell if I am in labor - I think I’ve possibly been in early labor for days!
Had cramps Monday eve. Sweep on Tuesday (told favorable) - had cramps and spotting after, followed by bloody show that eve. Decent contractions that took my breath away but faded overnight.
Wed am - felt fine. Walked for c.2 hours over the day, by afternoon again was having contractions - close together, tight bump but mild enough (like period cramps), accompanied by back pain and pelvic pressure. These continued a bit throughout the night last night.
But again I’ve woken up feeling relatively good and only had ONE notable contraction this morning. But now have leaking boobs and a lot of discharge.
Little ones movements have been fairly steady (but have also been activating tightenings which feel different from contractions!). Can I be having both BH and true contractions?I know it’s how long is a piece of string, but trying to avoid an induction on Monday.
I suppose I am wondering...am I stalling things by falling asleep? True labor would progress through my sleep right?
