Hi BabyMad. Sounds like it could be. How exciting!

How long are the contractions? How are you feeling?

MW's said around 7.7 maybe at a push 7.10 LOL how wrong they were, I said 9.2 so mummy is right at 9.1!

They seem to be coming about every 30 mins (they WERE about every 15 mins so they seem to be slowing down again) but lasting quite a while. I think I'm going to give up measuring them when they're so far apart, it obviously isn't real yet! Thanks for asking

madmumof5 · 07/08/2007 09:53
