I am 41+1
Had 2 sweeps
Last sweep = Monday 25th = 3cm dilated and ready to go.
Have been having what I'm guessing are contractions since 20 past midnight - but how do I know if it's the real thing?

OOooo, DKMA! How exciting, hope this is it! Think positive and keep eating and drinking! I'll be thinking of you and doing some cervix opening visualisations!! xxx

Keep us posted DKMA, this could be it, sending you lots of contraction vibes

Isn't feeling sick a sign of second stage labour? I felt sick during both of mine.
Good luck, sounds like things are definitely happening.

Been awol from mn for a few days...

DKMA, you must catch up on sleep and ignore contractiosn while you can or at least sleep whnever you can.

See Early Labour Mistakes for what you should be trying to do now. Relax and keep us posted!
