Hi i am desperately clutching at straws here. Have been contracting on and off for nearly 3 weeks (yes people!!). Some days incredibly wearing and in quite a lot of pain (not established labour pain - I do remember that from last time!), waking up in the night with contractions i really have to breathe through etc. I am just hoping beyond hope that this all means I'll have a lovely quick labour when things do finally get going (am 38+5 today, hoping I don't have to wait until 41+6 for the real thing!). So my question is, if you had a long latent phase did you have a lovely quick labour? Was it clear to you when you actually were in labour vs the latent part? Having a HB if all ok so not worried about getting to the hospital but will feel thoroughly cheated if we don't get the pool up in time for my water birth!
