I got sent home this past weekend they told me I was in early labor. I was having period like cramps they wouldn't get stronger but lasted for hours so that's why I went in to get checked. Also I was 4cm dilated by then. They sent u to walk around the hospital and check u again. If u don't dilate more of our contractions don't get stronger they won't do much to u. I was 37weeks when this happend

Same! Day 4 of contractions. Their getting more intense with everday even woke me up this morning. But still not consistent. I have a high pain tolerance so im trying to go by timing not intensity its hsrd to tell the difference between a contraction n cramp bc after i contract ill still be cramping so like i said its hard for me to track timing. I had lost my mucousplug over a period of three days starting last saturday. Im hoping im dialating but im not sure gaaahhh x/

Cause of sounds like you might be in early labor, you might need induced if your not dilating

It should be progressing within a day but if your not dilating it could be longer by the sound of it if contractions are timeable or are close I suggest to go in labor and delivery or call your on call doctor

How long this it takes to be in early labor?  Does it takes weeks or days? Cus I being having contraction and cramps. They come stronger than after some minutes they go away.

I actually went into early labor not even knowing that I was in labor.

This is my second pregnancy so I'll be able to give you a little insight. Early labor feels like menstrual cramps or Braxton hicks and within time gradually gets stronger.
