UPDATE: Baby Born!! ❤️🙏🏼 (Finally bloody show! I'm pretty sure? Update* in early labour)

Question

I just had my bloody show. There was a lot of this and I'm having contractions. So far from the ones I've counted in the last hour were 3 contractions 5-6 minutes apart. I had more just didn't count them. So let's see! 
Super nervous because now I know and I mean actually know what contractions are like. Right now their not that bad but I don't know how strong they can get. FTM (:
** my due date was September 1st and I was being told to consider induction. I was waiting until 42 weeks. Ultrasound was normal and almost had to have one today and book induction on Tuesday. I'm 41+3 today. 
So don't lose hope everyone. It will happen. I'm hoping this continues through and it all ends today. I do not want to get induced!

Update: more blood

Update: photos of baby. Story in the comments

Answer

* Update *
Having contractions 3-5 minutes apart average 5 minutes. They were 4 minutes but it went up a bit (I didn't track some). I was on the phone with my midwife and she said this is early labour and she doesn't see it stopping. I just have to get as much rest until for an hour it is consistently 3-4 minutes apart and then call her back. 
Hoping for a natural birth, wish me luck!

LAST UPDATE
Sorry I didn't update I've been busy recovering and taking care of my baby ❤️ 
I'm also having breastfeeding troubles because I'm a FTM just learning. 
So I was in early labour from 1:30am until 9:30pm and that's when things really started to kick off. 
I'm going to keep it short because I'm exhausted but I went into active labour at 9:30pm September 11th
Went to my birth centre at 11pm and laboured for a while in the tub. The baby's heart rate kept going up to 166 and down to normal range so we ended up going to the hospital for continuous fetal monitoring. 
I couldn't labour on my back since early labour I always had to be on my hands and knees and this time I had to be on my back or side and the contractions became so unbearable. My midwife checked me at 4am September 12 and I was only 5cm dilated.
I wasn't getting any breaks. I had a contraction and 2 minutes later an aftermath contraction and I only had a minute to 2 minute breaks in between.
I ended up getting the epidural because I hadn't slept for 27 hours and I was progressing too slowly. 
I fell asleep right after the epidural and woke up at 6:30 am
The epidural was wearing off so I had to get top ups and I couldn't eat even though I was starving. I just kept going back to sleep because I was exhausted. 
At 12pm I was still 5cm dilated and they were speaking to me about potentially starting pitocin and the possibility of a c section but because the heart rate was high they decided to prolong it. By 2:30pm I dilated to 8cm but the head was not in the position to be birthed yet. Around 4pm I felt so much pressure like I needed to push out a huge crap and I kept telling my midwife but she wanted to prolong the checks since they hurt me. After I kept insisting that I had to poo or push something out she checked me and I was ready to push! 
I pushed from 4:20pm and she was born at 5:47 pm at a whopping 9lbs! ❤️
Pushing was difficult but once she came out I felt so much emotion I started to cry. It all was all of a sudden worth it. (Didn't feel like it during labour haha)

Answer

*Update 3*
Still in labour contractions are getting stronger but not closer. Ughhhh

Answer

*Update 2*
The beginning contractions are early labour. They were super irregular earlier ranging from 2-7 minutes apart each time. They are starting to regulate to 9-10 minutes apart. Early labour is a biatch! I didn't even know about this until now. 
Labouring at home until they become regular and 3-4 minutes apart each contraction.
