having contractions every 2/3 mins, only lasting 30/40 secs, don't want to presume this is it but what do I do next? They are't horribly painful, but they hurt.

It's all a bit surreal here! dd1 (11ys) in bed with dd2 (6yrs), Dp-his first child so it's all so new and exciting for him! Lodger (had an unplanned homebirth herself, so some experience) and rather drunk friend who's turned up and is causing much hilarity! will call hosp now (owwwwwww)

Thank you Thank you Thank you! We kinda like the name Seren (anyone remember my Beaten up in the playground post?! ), but as dp and I haven't slept yet, don't want to commit. She's too lovely to keep in so we've all got dressed and are going to surprise relatives! Can't believe I can walk. Cant believe I've got a baby actually. When did that happen?!

Thank you everyone!!!! That was a really, really mad night. My midwife got stuck in a lift so nearly didn't make it-hence the she's coming, where's the gas and air? post. Which, by the way, when it did turn up didn't bloody work! Will source my own supply next time. (Next time? ).....
