Could this be labour??? I know my contractions are not steady enough to go to the hospital yet (according to the 4-1-1 rule) but could this be the first stage?? I’ve also been getting lightning crotch and a need to go to the toilet all day (more than usual). My contractions feel like they’re getting a tiny bit stronger by each one but I’m not in debilitating pain. This is my first pregnancy so I don’t know what to expect!!! I’m 6 days away from my due date.
