auntymandy, I think people are wanting the detail that seems too trivial to you on number 6. Stuff like: got up at 4 a.m. and had a bath, thought labour was getting started and then it kind of stopped again. Spoke to trib at 11 who unkindly predicted ds5 was trying to hang on to share birthday with her ds (not til 22 June).
In the afternoon it started up again and by 10-ish was in full pelt, unable to move off bed (if your dh is to be believed anyway!). Rushed off to hospital and straight into labour room, et voila, baby arrived.
