I have been having period like pains and backache since friday evening, last night I had an hour and a half of really intense contractions every few minutes, that suddenly stopped, had a few this morning as well, but now back to the period like pains and backache, how long could this go on for?

At last! Baby VonUberwald makes his appearance! I have been lurking since you started the thread Angua and I'm really pleased Joseph Sebastian is here at last, well done to you and your beautiful baby.

fryalot · 02/04/2008 20:34

Angua - you nearly filled a WHOLE thread with your pre-labour and labour and birth

fitnfortyone · 02/04/2008 21:02

at last!!! Congrats to you Angua - is the baby more wolf or dwarf? I guess a bit of both if he's a hairy 6footer

Anyone left to pop?

fryalot · 02/04/2008 21:48

VictorianSqualor · 02/04/2008 21:48
