Silent labour?

[sleepymama2020]

Hello all!
Looking for some advice on a possible silent labour!
I'm 39+5, waters went 8am and have been losing fluid consistently since then but no pain at all! Ive had some tightening and cramp like feelings. Due to SGA baby girl I have been in for CTG all confirmed fine and actually showed I was having a couple of contractions whilst on the monitor... eek!
Staying at home as long as I can but heading in tomorrow 8am latest due to risk of infection to be monitored.
Wondering if anyone has had the experience of a painless labour? I'm worried I won't know when to head in to the delivery suite or when she will be ready for me to make an appearance!
Thanks in advance

Oh you will know...congratulations :)

My friend did with her second. Had him on the landing if her house. Just ‘felt a bit odd’

It could be but with my first my waters went at around 5 in the morning and I had no pains all day until contractions started at 10 that night. So that was 17 hours later. She wasn’t born until the following day at almost midnight 🤦🏻‍♀️

Good luck 😊

Thanks all, I guess patience is the key, a virtue I seem to be lacking at the moment!
Fingers crossed the progress (pain!) starts soon 😊

This is exactly what happened to me with my first, waters went at 11.50 at night I was 39+5 labour didn't start untill 15 hours later at five o'clock that evening. I gave birth on my due date at 2.30 in the morning, I did have to be checked out at the hospital, they confirmed waters and asked me to go back when I was getting contractions, good luck 🙌🏽

Contractions coming now, 30 mins apart so rest time for me until things really kick off!
How exciting ☺️
14h from waters breaking

@sleepymama2020 just wondered how you was getting on and if you had an update?

Hoping baby is here and you are both well, Op 😊

Well things did not go smoothly...
Contractions went from 30 mins to 10 mins apart by 5am, and baby's movements slowed so we went to hospital for a CTG.
Then everything just died a death and all contractions just... stopped.
Waters had been broken for 24h at this point so we decided to go for an induction via hormonal drip (this is DC2, DC1 born via emergency c sec after induction where I failed to progress past 1cm after 19h of active labour).
At this point I was examined and was 1cm dilated
After getting on the drip and contracting well, 3 in 10 mins for 4h, I had again failed to progress and was still at 1cm with a long hard cervix at my first exam 4h into induction so called it a day and had another c section as it was the exact same scenario as with DC1. Baby girl was born at 10.46pm on 23/01 all safe and sound.

Since discovered I have an incompetent cervix meaning basically it will never dilate despite how much I contract!
For any future pregnancies it will be ECS for me from the outset.
