WOW!!!
Contractions 15 mins apart from 2pm til 6pm but no problems, went to M&S, Tesco, picked my nephews up from school, made dinner etc.

Then waters broke about 6pm and within 5 mins the contractions were 3 mins apart.
Midwife arrived at 6.45pm and they were 2 mins apart and I was 8cm dilated.

Got straight into the pool and Lucy Ann was born at 8.33.

Was it the acupuncture that I had on tuesday that finally got me going or the spinning class that I did yesterday morning I wonder??

Many thanks to all of you who have supported me through this last week or so of being overdue, especially Pupuce.
It was the most beautiful birth in the end and well worth the wait.

She's feeding for England now Mears. My nipples are sore as hell although the midwife assures me I've got her latched on okay. My milk hopefully will come in tomorrow huh - will that make it any easier? I cant remember from last time.
