Am i in labour?

[ZOEand]

I'm now 39 weeks and 6 days, my due date is tomorrow, today I had a sweep performed at 10am my midwife said she stretched but was unable to seperate the membrames. But baby is head down in the right position and quite low in my pelvis. Since yesterday I've been getting period like pains and Since around 4 I've been getting sudden sharp stabbing pains in my vagina and right lower back... since around 8 I've been getting more period pains which come and go which make me go ooooohch but nothing excruciating. Although I do have pcos and so I'm used to extrenely painful cramps anyway. So I'm not sure if this is labour or not? Any ideas

Sounds a good start OP, good luck!

Mine started with period pains!

Isit contractions? How do I know when to start calling hospital or making my way there. Should it be more painful to call it contractions and timing them.

Most places tell you to wait for 3 contractions every 10 minutes before going in. But if you give the labour ward a call they will let you know their policy.

Contractions will increase in frequency and intensity so you will know if it is labour. Good luck!
