Hi I was due on Thursday, and early hours this morning 2am, I woke up with sharp pains! I phoned the hospital and they told me to wait a wee bit! Then at 6am, they were getting more frequent and really sore! They told me to go to the hospital!

When I got there, they checked baby and my pulse etc and gave me an internal! Then said I was to go home, gave me pain relief and told me to get a sleep then see what happens!

Ever since the contractions have been on and off frequently but dont last long, I cant sleep and im in pain, also have that 'show' thing!

Does anyone know whats going on with me? x

"Dont worry and don't panic"

This is best thing. Practise deep breathing through the contractions make sure youu get some food,i found porridge was fantastic! How often is the discomfort?
When i started having contractions they were 10 mins apart for ages then the midwife came out when they were 3 mins apart(i had home birth)How do you feel? very exciting.... good luck enjoy each moment its the most empowering thing !

hi hun..
YOUR IN LABOUR. but dont panick yourself, this could last until tomorrow or even monday. when ever your contractions are getting too painful to stick, or your waters break - get yourself to the hospital.
the midwife sees this everyday, and when she examined you this morning she was aware you are still a good bit off.
take it easy, and yes sleep. yoou could be up all nt!!
