All good signs that bub is getting ready and your uterus is toning up for the big event. Have a lie down or take 2 paracetamol and have a bath if you are very uncomfortable and you will most likely find the pains die off. If not then it's time to get very excited
I lost my plug only the day before DD1 was born, but even though I was a week past dates by then, my gp still warned me that labour could still be up to 2 weeks away.
Your pains may be pre labour. They can last weeks. I had 20 hours prelabour with DD2, a friend had 4 weeks prelabour with her DD.
Take it easy & get some rest
i agree with the warm bath and some panadol and a nana nap. if it aint the real deal then the warm bath and nap will stop the BH and give you a break and not wear you out for the real deal Big Event. if it is the Big Event, then nothing will stop it, but a nice warm bath is a nice way to begin the journey
a week before my due date i lost my plug i ended up rushing back and forwards to the hospital for a week, i had pre labour contractions which were so strong that no sleep, and also *TMI* i could keep my bowels shut lol, so i had a week of no sleep constantly on the toilet finally they tried a sleeping pill didnt work no to mention i could eat either so i had no energy, they did an internal still 2cm dilated but then bang got to 7cm in a couple of hrs but bub decided he wanted to be transverse lol. keep track of what these pains do my mum help me time things, and kept an eye on how long they lasted for when you see you doctor next mention it and he might want to do a trace or something just to see whats happening. it might be nothing but its always nice to be prepared lol. my sister went into labour by herself bang on 38 weeks her water broke and she cant remember loosing her plug.
