This is my first pregnancy and I am 40 +1, the last few nights I have experienced tightenings in lower abdomen (which also feel like baby kicking/moving??) back pain and stabbing pains in my groin are these contractions? They start at the same time each night and last a few hours until I manage to fall asleep and wake up the next day with nothing. I went for my MW app on my due date and she said I was 1cm dilated and babies head is well down and engaged. Had no other signs, no mucus plug or waters breaking becoming frustrated.

Strong braxton hicks or early labour.

You can have early labour for days without knowing.

I was feeling this for a week with DS3. I went for a sweep and was 4-5cm!

Hoping for it to turn into the real thing soon! as booked in for an induction on 7th March which I didn’t want to have.
