Contractions

So I've been having contractions near enough every night since 19th Dec. They start about 2/3am come every 8-10mins, last for 1min at a time then by about 5/6am they stop and I don't get any throughout the day. What the hell is it? It's driving me insane. I'm shattered with my 4 year old getting up 6:30/7am.
39+6 and losing the will to live 😩

It's slow labour. I had it with my dd. I had a sweep and was already 2cm dilated. That got everything going properly.

Ooh hopefully won't be long for me then.
Had a sweep today and found out I'm 2cms :) how long after your sweep did you start?
