To dance or sleep?

I've had 90 mins of contractions, starting about 9min apart and getting down to 5mins apart (some as close as 3, but went back to 5). It's midnight and I'm battling a chest infection. I'm pretty tired.

So, should I try to dance this baby out, or get some sleep?

@TheShellBeach pretty much bang on. Arrived at 6:28 😂

Yay! Many congratulations to you! That's lovely news indeed.

What time did you get to the hospital?

4am. Only went up to the labour ward when I started pushing! Third babies, eh?!

Ha! I expect you preferred the natural labour as opposed to the induced ones, eh?

You'll be back at home by teatime!

This is a lovely thread.

Love this thread! Huge congratulations 🎉

Thank you, all, it was very helpful to have people to talk to (I let DH sleep as long as possible so as not to torture him!)

Crazy quick in the end. Only went up to the delivery room as I was pushing, they spent ages seeing if my blood pressure would come down so I could go to the MLU. No time! No worries!
