Stop / start labor?
41 weeks tomorrow. Lost mucus plug and had a sweep on Wednesday. Been walking around today and when I'm up have what feels like labor pains (back pain and painful stomach) but pauses as soon as I sit down.
Is this possible? Shall I power through and stay on my feet to hurry it along? This is my second baby but first was induced and epidural so no idea what to expect xx

Stand up, walk, move around, squat and rest. Save your energy. When labor comes it comes and nothing stops it. You will know when it’s time because you won’t be able to sit or talk through contractions lol
I am getting this today, it comes and goes but no consistency to it. Not sure if it means something is happening or just the body getting ready, it’s very frustrating though
If it stops when you change what you’re doing it could be braxton hicks. Just a thought…
I’m exactly the same too. 41 weeks on Monday. Think it’s very early stages of labour as this is different for me. I have had it throughout the night now but not enough for it to be contractions as it’s not consistent, just period pain cramps and bit of tightening.
