Started having contractions at 2:45am yesterday. They got to 7 minutes apart, 40-50 seconds then stopped completely at 7am.

Started again at 12pm after a walk and a bath and gradually built up again throughout today until tonight (4am) when they were 6 minutes apart.

The pain was rough so I came into hospital to get checked and have been told that I’m stressing too much (!) which is stopping my labour and that my cervix has thinned but is still at 2cm (which it was almost five days ago).

I really don’t feel like I can do this? I was induced with my first daughter so the circumstances were very different. The level of pain I feel doesn’t seem to match up with what my body is doing. Beyond frustrated and upset now. Anyone else gone through this?
