Forum 3rd trimester

I definitely have contractions, but they aren't progressing. Is this normal?

Hi moms and/or expecting moms =)

Can you answer my question?

I've been having contractions for 3 days now. Not a lot, between 5 and 7 a day, but they are real contractions.

They last 2 minutes and peak halfway through. They're intense, but manageable if I keep breathing/puffing along.

They come very irregularly though, so they're not building up...
Is this a normal start? What's the best thing to do?

I'm getting more and more belly and back pain...

The baby is super active before and after the contractions.

The early contractions are really a thing of the past. Those only lasted 30 seconds, were also very irregular and didn't have a peak.

Anyone who knows more about this, or has experienced this themselves and can give me advice??

I just don't know what's wise to do right now

Greetings from an almost-mom...

Oh yes, this is our first one
