I started off with mild contractions yesterday which gradually got stronger and closer in time so I rang the triage and spoke to midwife. Explained my previous labour was very fast and so went down to delivery suite to be checked over. I was 3cm, cervix was stretchy and baby’s head very low so we went for a little stroll which progressed the contractions, was examined again a few hours later where I was 4cm but baby had moved back up higher. I continued with steady contractions throughout the night, had a bath and was examined again at 6.30am - still 4cm. So decided to go home and get some rest, but contractions have now fully stopped. :-(
I’m hoping that my body is resting in preparation for the main event of 4-10cm dilation and labour but feeling disappointed! Anyone else experienced this? Still feeling baby moving a lot so not worried in that respect. Also been losing my mucus plug since sweep last night but read that can mean nothing.
