I'm 39+1 and started having period type pains that definitely felt more than Braxton hicks on Thursday. They lasted the evening coming every 10mins and then increasing in frequency to every 5mins before tailing off around midnight and I managed a full nights sleep.
No pain at all really during the day today (Friday) a few sporadic pains but nothing notable. They were every half hour this evening but slightly more painful than Thursday's.
The pains then really kicked off around midnight in there frequency but have stayed manageable in terms of their intensity - no painkillers needed, breathing through them is enough. Currently they are every 5 mins lasting 45 seconds to just over a minute and have been like this for the past hour or so.
Does this sound like early labour?? I'm confused about it as I haven't had a show or any of the pre-labour signs I was expecting to get - it seems to have started rather suddenly.
