Big show this morning (leading to slightly panicked thread )....

Contractions now about 10 mins apart. Having a homebirth, so I'm going to be about lots, and thought I might as well start a labour chat thread

I'll update as and when...

Jasnem · 23/02/2006 20:24

Starting to sound like you're in for a long night, Flame.

Call the mw ..... maybe a bit of a rummage will get things moving

You're doing really well, and at least this is the beginning of the end.

MerlinsBeard · 23/02/2006 20:28

I went on a stiff walk up a hill to Tesco at your stage flame. I had a great big contraction at the cheese counter and I remember fixing a stare at the writing on a packet of cheese which seemed to move in and out of contrast as I stood. I can highly recommend it.
