HELP...having contractions...

147 replies

I had a show at about 2pm today.

Have been having contractions for the past couple of hours which starts with pain in my back which leads to period type pains which leads to tummy tightening.

I am trying to time them but getting confused. Should I be timing them from the start of the pain itself or from when my tummy tightens? And do I time it from the beginning of a contraction to the end or to the beginning of the next one?

Eeeek...

Hi guys

Well he arrived at 5.53am this morning after a whopping 21 hours of labour.

His name is George Lucian and he weighed in at 8lb 15oz. He is so beautiful and I would go through it all again for him.

Labour was tough but managed it with just g & a and mnaged to escape with a small tear which wasn't even stitched. I am v.tired but will post my birth story in birth announcements when I have some time.

Thanks for all of your support girls. xxxxxx
