Seriously, am i on my own in feeling that BH are really really nice, like rush/wave of niceness through my body...a bit like 'coming up' on a little bit of ecstasy?

If this is what labour is going to be like i will be loving it!!

Hmmm, I know what you mean, the feeling is not dissimilar.

For me, labour was neither like BH nor a good night out, but I'm loving your optimism Grin

Hmm, I never had BH but I'm glad you're loving it at the moment. Try and keep that mindset for labour proper. I can strongly recommend gas'n'air -so good I remarked to OH when I was in labour "If this was sold in clubs it would be illegal" Smile

Nope. Sorry. I'm having too many really really intense BH contractions atm and its leaving me feeling anxious. I don't like it!

Labour is the same rock hard stomach feeling but with added pain.

What has 1996 got to to do with it?

I never had BH but I didn't recall many waves of "niceness" whilst having real contractions Grin

Unless you have access to some special drug? If so gimmie gimmie as I'm due again in December!

bun
It was when lots of us were out raving and taking lots of E's. I did the rave thing but was too scared to take Es Grin

Was never into raves. 1996 was a good year for me anyway though.
