Girls, hello everyone! Today at half past five in the morning, contractions started, they're not constant, I went to the hospital and they checked my cervix, it's soft, dilation is 1 finger width, the plug has also moved out completely with blood. Who had regular contractions after a similar situation? Because I was told to come when the contractions are 5-6 minutes regular, but like this, the next check-up is on Thursday. And one more question, the pain is like during periods (you can tolerate it, but it's already painful), so I think this is not the most painful yet?
