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

Dh is here, he said not to panic yet, but I have had a show so am panicking now. Just checked my bag, think I have everything. My parents are still here, thank god. PIL are picking up the kids from school for us, and if needed my parents will pick them up from PILs

Something to drink during labour? I had glucose lozenges to keep energy up, but with you having diabetes I don't know if you can have them.
