Early labour?

Sorry for the clueless post (ftm) but I think I’m having contractions. I’m a week overdue and had a third sweep today. Cervix still firm though but 2cms dilated.

I’ve been losing mucus plug all week and having lots of discomfort since Thursday .

Since 3rd sweep this morning I’ve been having these ‘contractions’ around every 5 minutes and they are mostly felt in my lower back. It comes in a wave from the front around to the back. I’ve started the tens machine and going to start timing them on my app. I can talk through them but have to deep breathe.

Any advice appreciated, thank you!

Very possibly yes!

Eat then sleep then keep moving. Repeat cycle.

I had a three and a half day labour (about a day was what you describe). Had no sleep. Big mistake!!!

You'll need lots of energy to keep up your strength, so have your partner keep playing you with high energy and nutritious food.

Keep moving to keep the labour progressing.

And good luck.
