Happy Xmas everyone. I've been in the early stages of labour (not established) since Sunday evening with irregular but frequent and excrutiatingly painful contractions. I'm 41 weeks today. The baby is, or certainly was, posterior lie so this may account for increased pain. We went in to hospital early on Christmas morning but as I wasn't in 'true' labour we went home. I had a show on saturday night. Has anyone experienced such a painful and lengthy latent stage? The pain feels like someone is trying to break my back open; it also stretches round my lower abdomen is felt in my bottom! I'm getting a bit desperate!!! Anyone? xxx
