Labour stopped

What fresh hell is this! This is baby 3 and it isn’t cooperating.

What I thought was Labour kicked off last night. Cramps, progressively getting worse, very painful (more so than BH) to the point I called in backup to watch my other children. Averaging 5mins apart.
Had a bloody show and then…nothing.

Now I’ve got cramp and intense pressure but not what I would describe as active Labour. It’s not got worse at all and I’ve managed to sleep through bits of it.

What do I do at this point, can I go in and ask the midwives what is going on or is it best to stay at home?

Call your midwife and get checked out. The worst they can do is send you home.

Good luck and take care.
