I am 40w+1 and last night started having low down period like pain which came every 8 to 12 minutes and lasted about 20 seconds. It was like a wave that would peak and then decrease. Then i woke up this morning and nothing for a few hours.
They have now started again and are lasting about 40 seconds and 8 minutes apart. I have no pain in my back, no pain in my upper uterus and my whole uterus isn't going hard.
I had a sweep on Thursday at 11am and since then have had 3 episodes of losing what i think is my mucous plug.
This is my first baby and i have no idea what to expect. Does it sounds like it could be the beginning of something?
