Slow labour?

Sammie • Mum of 2! 💙💗

Anyone been in early labour for hours? I woke at 2am vomiting and loose stools and then at half 3 I went to the loo to a popping sound but no waters coming out and then by 4 am I was having irregular contractions more so Braxton Hicks at the front and bottom of my back it’s now 7:30pm here and I’m still getting tightening and loose stools and period kind of pains but no real contractions as of yet.. I’m starting to think it’s early labour but I’m unsure as with my first my labour was only 5 hours start to finish. 😑
