Slow labour

Katie

I’ve been in early labour since Friday with my second baby, I’m really struggling now as I’m so tired and in so much pain having contractions all night between 6-8 mins apart and with a 2 year old to look after. The contractions are very stop and start and irregular!

Does anybody have any positive stories or advice to get things into established labour? I’m 39 weeks in a couple of days so they won’t do anything to help labour come along as not 40 weeks yet.

I understand this can go on for days / weeks I’m just struggling to see how I’m going to get through it when I feel like it’s bad already 😫

My bloody show came away Saturday and lots over the last few days it’s like it’s never ending!
