Been contracting since 5 pm, I'm bit early so I am doubting myself! but they are very convincing indeed, having a home birth so the mw is coming to check up on me in a mo...
so desperate to not be wrong (how embarassing!) but can't see how I could be wrong, it's my third go!!!

lots of strong contracty vibes my way pleeeeeease x

(ouch)

right

keep pottering, listen to your body, and if this is not 'it', all these contractions will have served a purpose...

take it easy, keep your fluids up, honey is good too for energy..and rest if you feel you need to !

and update as and when you can

lots of love and luck to you

with my second, i had quite a few false alarms with labour, but with both mine, it was the real thing when accompanied with diarrhea (sorry if tmi)

both mine were early too, good luck.
