Contractions hmm

[Eatalot]

Had start of show early hrs and been coming all day.

Started having contractions about 1 but only timing since 5. They are all around 40 secs. But are 17mins then 10mins then 8 mins then 7 mins then jump back to 17 and down again until last one before jump back up is closer than one before previous jump. Sorry if thats confusing. Wft. Anyone else had them in a pattern like this?

Yep. This went on for about 2 days before they were thick and fast. Once stopped for 4h then resumed again

I once had contractions every 7 mins. Then at about 4 mins in between there was an odd painless mini contraction. Really odd. Had a baby 2 hours later.

my second baby was like that. was really weird. he was back to back, don't know if that was anything to do with it

Thank you. I just expected to get closer and closer rather than closer then longer then closer etc. Second baby but I was induced with icp with first which was quick and intense. And that was 10yo so feeling like a first timer.

They do seem to be getting more intense though so I guess that is what matters.

yep. i called midwives when mine were lasting over a minute each time and by the time they came out i was 8cm already despite the big gaps between them!

fingers crossed you don't have long to wait
