is it labour?!

Question

This is crazy considering it's my third baby and I feel like I should know lol. I'm 40+5 and had a sweep this morning at 10:30, felt a little crampy after and noticed around 2pm I started getting tightenings about every 15-30 mins but very mild. Now they are every 10-15 mins but SOO very mild doesn't feel much worse than braxton hicks but with period type pain in my back??? Does it sound like things are starting or could it just be normal braxton hicks?

Answer

I'd say the only way is to wait and see. I know how you feel. It was my second and I had similar feelings and wasn't sure but when active labor started, there was no doubt about it. I was told to take Tylenol/paracetamol and get in a bath and see. If they get worse, probably active labor. They'd also be getting closer and more intense.
