Are these early Labour signs

I am currently 37 weeks with my second child. I didn’t go into natural labour last time as waters went and had to be induced and it didn’t agree so had to have a section.

anyways these past few days I have been getting increasing tightenings that feel abit like BH but also different as they are accompanied with back ache and some times lower stomach ache. I have also had a lot of lightening crotch and tonight I have been timing them for the past few hours and they are coming around 5-7mins and lasting from anywhere to 1min- 2min 30s.

could this be the start of labour or is it likely to just be BH? I have also changed position multiple times and drank some water and they remained the same. I can’t say they are painful tho they are very mild.
i feel like im going crazy as had nothing like this at all with my first

It could be! With my second I had weeks of BH but they felt exactly like early labour, only they would taper off after a few hours. 2m 30s sounds too long to be early labour contractions though.

I’d say just keep an eye out for now, fingers crossed labour is near!

Could be Labour. Maybe take a bath and see if regularity continues. With my third the contractions were not painful until the last hour.. it was only 5 hours from first twinges so you never know it may not be long now. Good luck!
