Very, very stupid question alert! Could this be it?

[Cookiepants]

First timer here, looking for any advice / thoughts. I had a sweep yesterday at 39 + 6. Nothing yesterday apart from a bit a of a stomach ache following sweep.

Now I am getting a "wave" of sensation across my lower bump. Coming approx every 4-5 mins, however no show or waters. The sensation is not particularly painful (more of a weird uncomfortable feeling) and they don't last very long 5-10 seconds at the most.

Could this be early labour or just a bit of wishful thinking on my part

my first labour started like this...bit like waves of electricity across my lower bump...exciting times ahead! hope all goes well op!

The only way you will know is if they start to be longer/ stronger! My labour with ds started just like this and he was born 12 hours later...but with dd I had two or three episodes like this in the week before she arrived - very frustrating!

Well all seems to have gone quiet for now obvs just a practise run.
