Is it labor?

[SIEGAL]

So had a sweep I was 3.5 cm not effaced.

Now I have contractions about 4 mins apart but they don't hurt that much. Thoughts?

Could be early labour, if you can., try and ignore it as much as possible, until you can't ignore it. I had a really long early labour following a sweep and I was so exhausted as I didn't get any rest as I was sure it was it and I was gonna have baby any moment! It was 4 days later that I had him! I know that's particularly long so don't worry about that too much, but do try and rest if you can.

..try and ignore it as much as possible, until you can't ignore it.

That's good advice. I will try to remember that myself

Went to hospital anyway. I was 5cm when the checked me. I'm admitted.

Resting comfortably with my epidural. 9 cm water broken. Almost time to push!!

Yay! Almost there!

Wow! That went quickly for you that's so great! Hopefully you're snuggling your bundle right now!

Had him at 449 am. Wasn't a bad labor. Came in a around 8 pm with mild pain. Got epidural at 6 cm before I started suffering. Only pushed like 5 min didn't feel a thing!
Worst part was the anticipation of the epidural and funny feeling legs.

But I feel pretty good now - no serious tearing.

Thanks for the good wishes ladies
