Contractions

Jessica

I'm 39+1 and have been pretty uncomfortable since my membrane sweep Wednesday afternoon. I'm 3 cm dilated and still 80% as of Wednesday. I've been getting more pressure and it's a little painful. Still spotting once in awhile. I've also been getting a little more than mild pain in my lower belly but not sure it's contractions or not. Ftm so this might be a dumb question, but will you just know if it's more than Braxton hicks? I was hoping to have him by today so I didn't have to go to work today 😂 I work retail.
