Just asked midwife if really early slow labour would feel like mild period pains on and off, feeling like you need a poo, pressure etc etc and she said no in even really early labour you would still be having regular contractions....so what I'm confused about is the ladies that have been in slow labour for like 3 days for example, have you had regular contractions or the symptoms I have described and was it actually slow labour or just a build up to labour if that makes sense?? Just be interested to know xxx

I was in slow labour for 36 hours, contractions were regular at 15 minutes and then 10 and it carried on like that for hours x

I was having what I thought was Braxton Hicks but really strong maybe 2-3 times a day.. very spread out and irregular for a few days and when I was admitted for preeclampsia symptoms and they examined me I had already dilated 4cm! They were in shock that I had already started and barely noticed anything apart from what I thought was a strong period type pain xx

thanks girls! I really thought something was happening last night and night before but woke up and nothing.... obviously been having a read on Google and it says things like increased heartburn, a 'clear out' mild cramps etc could be the start of labour! silly Google getting my hopes up! lol @duchess92 @hayleyapril @suzie80 @zaralee71

I was in slow pre-labour for 5days @jetrum I was having regular contractions which definitely felt more than just period like cramps. That's how they started but sooner stronger. I got myself a TENS machine which really helped as hospital obviously didn't want me in as my waters hadn't broken. On the 5th day they eventually broke them!

I'm in slow labor Hun, I constantly need to poo and I'm suffering from period pains and strong back pain when ever I have a contraction. My contractions have gone from being ever 10 mins to every 3 - 5 mins. I also feel very sick. Nurse said I have thinned out 2cm and I'm 1-2 cm dilated and my cervix currently dropping down x
