Since 12pm yesterday (it’s 8:10am where I live just now) I have been having pains that come and go. At first really mild and not very close together I thought I had an upset stomach.

The pains have gotten stronger and they are harder to deal with. They aren’t very regular though, they can sit at roughly every 5 minutes lasting about 40 second to every 9 minutes for a while then it’ll jump down to 3 minutes like I don’t know what’s going on😩 I haven’t slept.

I was told by my midwife at my last appointment to go in once I had 3 contractions in the space of 10 minutes but also if I was struggling with the pain.

It feels like bad gas but like BAD BAD gas, I keep thinking I’ll go in and it will just be gas but I’ve never had gas last 20 hours and be so routine in it’s pain. I’ve also been losing my mucus plug since yesterday. I’m 40 weeks 3 days. FTM.
