PLEASE DON’T THINK IM STUPID

Morning everyone, hope this is the start of a very productive week.

I am not a first time mother, I have a 2 year old.

I’m currently 40+2 and since 3am I’ve been having pains right in my abdomen and sometimes lower back, pain comes and goes. I’m not sure if it’s contractions.

With my daughter my water broke and 2 hours later I had her but this seems to be different. I haven’t been able to get much sleep because the pain is unnoticed.

I tested positive with GBS and have to get antibiotics during labour once my water breaks. I don’t know if I should call triage and see if I need to go in as I am not sure where’ve this is contractions or not and want the try and get the full 4 hours of the antibiotics before I have the baby.

The reason I’m saying no one should think I’m stupid is because I’m not sure if these are contractions or not.

Any help pls.
