Uy, totally normal yan and super common sa third pregnancy, kaya breathe! Sa una at pangalawa mo you went straight into active labor kaya ngayon feeling mo ang early labor is taking forever, but honestly, yung body mo is doing exactly what it needs to, kahit slow ang progress ngayon. A few of us moms went through the same thing: one friend had stop-start contractions for days before the real deal kicked in, so the brown discharge and 1cm dilation you're seeing is actually your body preparing, not a sign something's wrong. Since you're already 39 weeks and have been checked by your midwife, you're in good hands, just rest when you can, stay hydrated, and maybe do some walking or position changes to help move things along naturally. Call your midwife again if the pain picks up or if anything feels off, pero huwag mag-panic dahil alam mo naman from your first two births na ang labor mo ay mabilis once it gets going, this time lang it's warming up a bit differently. You've got this, mama!
