Has anyone had a labour that's just not that painful?

[Scampmum]

I am having regular contractions, 15ish minutes apart (but closest together only 2 apart!), but... they're just not that painful! I know I have quite a high pain threshold and these definitely aren't BH, but not sure what to do at this point. Just wait until they're intolerable and then start thinking about the hospital? For various reasons I'd rather not have a homebirth... (difficult last labour with OP baby, parents are docs and violently opposed so although personally I love the idea don't want to stress them out...)

good luck

scamp being kept in hospital due to history of fast labours but still no real progress

poor love

Can they really do that?
It's evidently not a very fast labour, is it? Doesn't seem very fair

I hope they have given her a telly at least.

Any news?

nothing since lunch- hope thats a good sign but she was relaxing and eating so all good i guess

[sneaks in sheepishly]

discharged myself. if this actually happens I very much doubt it will be too quick for us to get to hospital. Am shattered so am going to bed - am so sorry for the wild goose chase!

big love to all xxx

Poor you! No need to feel sheepish, it happens to the best of us(!) Hope you can get a good night's sleep. Have been checking all day. We can wait x

aw, bless scamp.

sorry it's turning into a long drwn out affair.

sleep tight

Scampmum - its all for the good. My last was a slow burnier and just not that painful for it.

Hang on in there

Oh poor you Scamp . And don't feel sheepish whatever you do!! We love a good labour thread and this one's been extra special.

I just hope you got a decent rest tonight. You must be exhausted!
