Mmmm that's awful. Big hugs.
Sending labour vibes to all who need them. Darcies hope it is labour for you, if only to prove the horrible MW wrong!
High: Got 5 hours sleep last night, and good quality sleep because Daniel slept in his Moses basket 
I swaddled him in a blanket and cuddled him off to sleep, then put him in the basket and tucked a sheet tight over the top so that he felt like he was still being held. It may not work again, but I appreciated a good night last night anyway!
Low: V sore nipples which I'm dumping lots of lansinoh onto
MsB another BF question: My boobs feel quite engorged this evening, but I didn't think milk came in this early (DS was born on Fri morning). Could it be milk coming in, or something else?
I've posted some new photos on my profile. Let me know if you can see them
The birth story: Overnight Weds I had very mild cramps every 15 mins, which I could sleep through. Then everything stopped Thurs am. Had a show on my way to MW appointment and she then did a sweep. From 4pm onwards I had manageable contractions every 10 mins. Went to bed and managed a few hours sort of sleep until about 2am. Got up at 3 and started timing contractions, which were then every 5 mins. Woke DH at 4.45 and asked him to call hospital as contractions were getting stronger. They told me not to come in until I was getting 3 in 10 mins. At 5.30 I went to get out of PJ's and into clothes and suddenly contractions were coming thick and fast. It took me ages to get dressed as I had to keep stopping and dropping onto all fours to manage the pain. We set off for hospital just after 6, driving through a snow storm, and arrived at labour ward at 6.30 after a few stops for contractions between the car park and there. They did paperwork and took me round to wait outside triage room (and to do a urine sample, which really was taking the piss as I couldn't manage more than a drop between the frequent contractions!). Fortunately they then decided to skip triage and took me straight to a room. Arrived there at 6.50, waters went pretty much straight away and then by the time the MW got her gloves on I had uttered the classic "I need to push". She did a quick exam and told me that sure enough I could start pushing. They monitored baby's heartbeat which dropped as he got a bit stuck going round the corner. The registrar was called in and they were on the verge of doing episiotomy and ventouse when with the next contraction I had his head halfway out. Another contraction for the head to be delivered, one more for the body, and Daniel was with us at 7.15. I had a small tear and a bit of a graze but otherwise all OK. He latched on straight away once we went skin-to-skin and we were home 8 hours after birth. A complete contrast to DD's birth
