Am nearly 34 weeks but have a history of premature labours, so looks like things might be happening here. Scared now. My back is contantly aching and having contractions every 10 minutes. Going to have a bath and hope it eases off

thanks, can't get in the bath yet, as DH has gone to get my diabetes presc. and I am not allowed in the bath when no-one is here.

The pains are lasting about 1 min. I can't remember how long they should last for proper labour

After your bath, get a nice drink and take yourself back to bed and get some rest.

had the steriod injections at 28 weeks. The consultant thought that even if I wasn't in labour at 28 weeks, then it would be a good idea, so had them done already

Oh how exciting!!!

Is Lisad home from hosp yet?

My mum & aunt both had children 4 hours apart & their beds were wheeled next to each other! They got a shock when they saw one another!

As soon as I know if this is IT, I have to go in, as I need anti.bo for group B strep. Taken paracetamol, see if that stops it. About to have a bath.

Oh SGK, thinking of you and hope everything goes well if this is it.

One minute sounds about right. Are they getting closer together?

Wow!

Are you alone SGK?

Are your parents able to look after your children? I recall that they were going to go to the caravan.
