Contractions woke me up about about 1 hour ago. Not too painful but getting stronger so I'm daring to hope that this may not be another false alarm.

I guess everyone is in bed now though.

how far apart, regular, had a show?

Cadbury · 09/02/2007 02:06

they are about 5 mins apart and lasting about 45 secs to 1 min.

I started having a show yesterday and it increased a lot after a sweep today.

Latest news - contractions seem to have calmed down to a dull ache with occasional tightening and Cadbury is fast asleep. She is very, very annoyed and frustrated, just wants things to get going - as do we both .

Will be posting again later.....

AnAngelWithin · 09/02/2007 12:34

thinking of you.

Carmenere · 09/02/2007 12:36

Ooh thinking of you sweety, hope it happens soon xx

MerlinsBeard · 09/02/2007 12:38

oh how frustrating for her

TrinityRhino · 09/02/2007 12:40

oh I was soooo hoping that it was going to be it now
sending her all the 'cervix blossoming' vibes I can!

sending really strong birthing vibes to cadbury....xx

Cadbury · 10/02/2007 05:24

back again like last night - got to keep these contractions going. They calm down so much when I let them. They can go from every 3 mins (after nipple fiddling) to every 6-7 mins and much milder when I haven't. Today would be ideal for baby to turn up.
