Mahinang contractions

Question

I track my contractions. And here’s how it looks like today mga mommies.Quick background. VBA2C candidate. 40 weeks and 1 day today. Kahapon ang due ko.Had IE last Tuesday. 1 cm lang. Pero mababa na daw si baby. My amniotic fluid is still enough and clear as per OB. Good cardiac activity. Active si baby. 2016 - CS due to fetal distress. 2CM dilated only. No active labor.2020 - VBAC candidate but ECS due to oligohydramnios. Cervix never opened.This time, effort talaga kami ni Dra. First time ko maka experience ng mga contractions to be honest.Maikli na ang pagitan but the pain is tolerable. Now my question is. Hindi po kaya mataas lang pain tolerance ko?Or is this a sign na finally malapit na ako manganak? 🥺Had bloody show Tuesday night pero baka kako sa IE yun.PS. I often feel these contractions pag resting ako, side lying position. Rather than when walking or doing exercise with gym ball.Thanks mommas! Aspiring VBAC momma talaga ako ❤️

Aww mama, ang saya naman na nag-effort kayo with your OB for this VBAC journey! Honestly, those contractions you're describing sound promising, especially with the bloody show last Tuesday and feeling them more when you're resting (that's actually super normal, as your body relaxes and you notice them better). But here's the thing: pain tolerance really does vary so much from person to person, kaya hindi lang yan ang indicator, it's more about the pattern, consistency, and kung how your cervix is responding, which really only your OB can tell properly during checks. Since you're already 40+1 and these contractions are picking up, I'd say text or call your doctor today to give them an update, especially since you want that VBAC badly, they might want to see you or at least confirm you're on the right track, kasi they know your history and what active labor should look like for you specifically. Fingers crossed for you, mama! Rooting for your VBAC dream.
