a) at the first twinge
b) when that first twinge became a regular twinge
c) when twinges become definite contractions
d) other?
It has dawned on me that at 34 weeks I should make some plans...
DD1 waters broke before anything happened, ended up having to go in to hospital for anti-biotics. DD was undiagnosed breech and was born by emcs about 30 hrs after waters broke.
DD2 started getting twinges just after putting DD1 to bed (so about 7) but wasn't entirely convinced it was labour for a few hours - called my mum to look after DD1 at 11pm. Went to hospital at 5am, DD2 born 8am.
DC3 due in Feb. DH is working in bloody Devon, there's a fairly high chance that he'll be there when I go into labour. If that's the case I need to mobilise troops. He needs to come back (will take a minimum of 5 hrs traffic/ weather permitting), my mum needs to get here from an hour away to look after DDs and my emergency birth partner Auntie needs to get here from an hour away.
Have been scared by lots of people mentioning that they had several false starts with DC3....

If you were pregnant with number 3, DH worked a minimum of 5 hours away and you started getting contractions when would you call him?
