I can definitely say this is a much longer process then with my first. I'm 39 +4 So hopefully it's the light at the end of the tunnel. If it happens it will probably be today my mom and birthing helper just went to the er with a hurt knee. My poor husband who really struggles with L&d would be on his own lol.
My early labour started last week. I don't feel my contractions as much as I've just got used to them. I've tried everything from walking to sex and yet I'm now 1 day over. Had to sweeps on the second one midwife could feel membranes and top of baby's...Its just a long slow process.
I'm right there with you! 39+3 and I get back cramps and contractions for 2-3 hours in the evening and go to bed since they dont get worse or closer together and nothing happens overnight. I walk to try to keep it going but it doesn't help. I was a 2 and 30% effaced on Thursday. I just want a baby to hold.
I know how u feel I have been having very inconsistent contractions for over a week now and when I start feeling like they are close and strong they go away for at least a day I'm 39+3
