Currently puffing away on the gas and air while DH is out grabbing stuff from home. I'm ages away from giving birth but I still want him back ASAP 😂

38+1 here, awake with insomnia, very jealous of your situation.

All the best! How very exciting, when did you realise it was time?

Contractions 5 minutes apart but no real pain for over two hours. Got to MAU for a look and I was 4cm! Straight down to the delivery unit to break my waters and an hour on from my waters breaking, I'm sucking on gas Grin

I wish I'd had gas and air at 4cm... didnt get it until 9cm when I arrived at the hospital because none of the midwives believed I could be so far along with irregular contractions...

Good luck!

DC are 11 and 8.

Just had an epidural due to back labour although it doesn't seem to have bloody done anything for the back pain, just the front pain! 🙄
