Confused and need advice

Over the last couple of days I lost my mucus plug. No blood.
Last night I woke up at midnight with a migraine and felt really poorly, had a triptan and went back to sleep.
Woke at 0215, migraine had passed but woken by contractions, every 7 minutes and lasting a minute. These went on until 0930.
Its all died down now. Baby has been moving but I feel really nauseous and I keep going really cold.

Should I be calling triage due to feeling unwell or just relaxing?

How pregnant are you? It sounds like latent labour. Probably kick off again overnight but may die down again in the day. I had a few days/nights like this. But you may also have a cold on top, which obviously isn't ideal but I'd have a nice bath and a paracetamol and see how you go. If baby's movements changed though I'd be straight up to triage.

Agree with pp

Sounds like latent phase labour but also sounds like you could be poorly. Flu, maybe? Keep us posted. How many weeks are you?

Could definitely be either or both then. How are you doing this evening? If you're ill I'd expect those symptoms to be worse as cortisol drops at night which lets your immune system kick in and makes you feel quite shit. But that won't stop your body if it's decided it's time! X
