Lost some blood tinged mucus plug at 1:00pm today which I'm guessing is my 'show' or part of it.

I had fairly regular but not unbearable contractions all afternoon since, they've now stopped. They were primarily in my back as I'm having (another) back to back baby. Yay Envy

I'm now only getting a lot of pain in my lower back when baby moves or when I sit down, similar to the contraction pains I've had all day but not actually contractions.. Just pain/pressure from sitting down or baby moving.

Some lightening crotch when walking
but not much..

What's happened, has she got stuck somehow? (Half lighthearted but a bit baffled nonetheless)

This happened to me, I was in slow labour for a week. My advice would be to make sure you get plenty of sleep, and stay active during the day to encourage things to keep moving along

This happened to me too. Started at 3:30am on Thursday. Baby arrived 11:45pm. Hell of a day but contractions were worse than the actual birth and the back pain lasted for a few days.

I had a feeling it would be slow labour, oh god I hope it's not too long.. A week sounds awful so I feel for you bambam

I'd actually swap these back pains for giving birth three times in a row right now prosecco Grin

Am I being ridiculous to be worrying that she's gotten stuck somehow and could be distressed?

It's the pain when she moves and the pain when I sit down that is making me think something isn't quite right progression wise, or is this totally normal?

Phone triage? No idea if its normal or not but they might want to get you in

Going to give them a ring

I'm not the most relaxed and rational when it comes to labour so wasn't sure if I was being daft
