Do I go to bed or stay up and wait?!!

[SeaShellsOnTheSeaShore]

40+4, slight show tonight and mild period type pains associated with tummy tightenings. I'm booked for a sweep tomorrow-should I just head to bed and try to rest?!! Or sit here and drink raspberry leaf tea etc

Ooh exciting! I would try to get some rest and conserve your energy

Go to bed - rest assured that contractions will wake you up if it kicks off

I had show and pains before a sweep and I was already 3cm when sweep happened, 2 days afterwards I finally gave birth

Go to bed now!
Good luck!

Bed and rest every time.

Try and ignore pains. Take a couple of paracetemol.

If you can't ignore/the painkillers don't have much effect, then sounds like all go.

go to bed go to bed go to bed
it could be some time and you need all the rest you can get, if it really kicks off you will know
good luck

Go to bed, and you might be like me and not wake till your 6cm gone very exciting :)

this is why I love mn- quickest response I know! Going to bed with waterproof sheeting under me and trying to take my mind of things :) this could rumble on for days couldn't it!

I'm useless at this: ds' waters went with no warning so not been in this situation before!

go to bedwith hot water bottle

Go to bed - you won't get any sleep though! Exciting isn't it??

Go to bed and update us when it kicks off

go to bed and rest. stay calm, don't use up your body's adrenalin before you need it.

Bed. Sleep as long as you can. With any luck when you wake up you'll already be halfway there (I slept my way into active labour and it was marvellous!).
Good luck.

Go to bed, and if you're not going to bed alone then all the better, if you know what I mean.

Definitely go to bed. A glass of wine is often recommended in these circumstances I think! Might help you relax if you fancy one.

Good luck and let us know how it's going in the morning :)

Oooooh yes go to bed, get as much rest as you can. Good luck, let us know how you get on - soooooo exciting!!

Just got woken by more show and ?waters trickling.

Wine is a very good idea...hmm will try relaxation technique first then reach for the bottle that's chilling alreadyin fridge!

Exciting stuff, I hope it kicks off properly for you soon.

How exciting!
Rest though, when I was in labour I was quite focussed on how tired I was, my keenest question being "if I have an epidural will I be able sleep" neither sleep or the epidural happened but Dd did :o

Goodluck!

How's it going? :o

Perhaps she went in during the night? Good luck seashells!

Hi all, in hosp but not progressing :( despite lots of birthing ball bouncing. Going to see dr soon x

Oh, all the best! Keep moving! By the end of the day you will have your baby . Can I post some Netmums/Babycentre style HUGS?

Good luck - hope it goes swimmingly!

Checking back for baby news....

Good luck
