Have some rhubard.

Keep active but not too much so you are too
tired for labour.

Book something you really want to do for the next couple of days, that should do it!

Good luck.

Ooh sounds like it could be. Have a walk round. Stay upright and keep your fingers crossed (but not your legs)

Good luck!

Yes, that's how it started for me in all 3 pregnancies: regular period pains and a show. In all 3 cases I had a baby in under 24 hours but this is not always the case
