So last night I had quite painful contractions for 2 hours and I then managed to fall asleep and they have completely stopped!
Has this happened to anyone else? Im 40weeks+3

I've had this most nights over the last week and a bit. I'm 40 weeks today.....

Today I've had them on and off all day but nothing exciting has happened yet 😂

They're gearing up. Mine did that on and off the week before actual labour.

It's so frustrating isn't it?? I've been crampy all day today and usually it's only at night so was slightly more hopeful but now it's stopped again.

I didn't have any of this with my first. Just woke up and had proper contractions. This time, it's been on and off for days. I thought I was doing ok with it all but today I have felt frustrated!

Hope it happens for you soon....

My pregnancy yoga friend had this for 4 nights I think before the real thing. I had tightenings on Thursday and Saturday but nothing since. Come along now babies!!!

How are you getting on ? I had this last night for two hours they were 4 mins apart and been on and off today lost some of my plug , feeling so rubbish and want things to ramp up!

@sh13 ive not had anything since :(
Felt a little crampy last night but it didnt result in anything and wasnt that bas as I fell asleep through it.

Mine were every 5 mins for atleast 30-45seconds. I fully thought it was labour!

Im 40+4 today and have a sweep booked in tomorrow so hopefully that sets it off!

Good luck! X
