With DD1, I was 6 days late, had show at 11pm, strong contractions started about 3 hours later got more and more intense and then had her 22 hours later. Pretty textbook progression...

I am now 39+2 with DD2. Woke up with cramps early hours of Sunday morning which came to nothing, last night contractions were exactly 10 mins apart for 4 hours and then stopped completely, had a show last night and this morning, pink discharge all day and contractions about every hour all day today.

Doesn't feel as though I am progressing at all.

So the million dollar question, how long do you reckon until this starts with proper labour?

A sweepstake with a virtual present for the winner??!!

This could go on for another week or so, sorry! Every labour is different but try and not get too dissapointed. Your body is warming up and this is good as it could mean that you will have a quick progression when things really do get going. Good luck!

I had similar with DS. 3 days of on off contractions (only at night) in the end I went to see my MW and just said please do something, I was knackered! She gave me a sweep at 1pm that day and in labour at by 2:30 had him at 11pm that night.

My advice is see your MW and then you could be holding you DD tomorrow!

Best of luck! :)

Can barely type but contractions now 3 mins apart and bloody painful...
