Am I in labour?
Hi I'm 41+1 today. Since about 2am I've been having very irregular, one and off period like pains with my braxton hicks. I've been having braxton hicks for months so I know when its switching up on me. Even during all these hours I'm like feeling pain with tightness sometimes and at slightly different intensity and then it'll just got back to braxton hicks again and then turn back up with pain and so forth.
I'm also wondering with my anxiety and stress of going into labour might be affecting my hormones and delaying it??

As above but also try and have nap if you can sleep through the pain. You need your rest to tackle active labour xx
it sounds like early labor potentially! do your best to relax, rest or do some things that make you feel good and happy :)
Update: So i went in today to get checked. My cervix isn't fully softened but baby's head is low in pelvis and am 1cm dilated! Going to try relaxing and getting as much sleep as I can.

I know it's really hard, but try to go out and about doing normal day to day stuff a bit of you can, go for a walk, have some a nice bath/shower, listen to your favourite music etc
