I just had my son 5 days ago. My early labor contractions first started like period cramps/ discomfort. Then they turned into lighting crotch feeling. Mine were inconsistent and usually happen in the afternoon/ late night then they would stop. I was 1 cm dilated while feeling this pain/ discomfort. I felt it for 5 days straight before my water broke.
@Sabrina I didn't know that they could feel like that. I've been having something similar and mainly in the evenings. Currently 1 cm dilated, so I guess we'll see if my route to labor is similar to yours lol
I’ve also been feeling this for the last 2 days or so due date is 10/16 but still no signs of little man yet
That is how both my early labours have been. Menstrual cramps
