OK - so am having contractions, but how do I know when I am getting dialted?

[EllieG]

MW said not to come in til about 2/3 cm dialated and it was 'all hotting up' - but how do I know when this is?

Contractions feel really sore now - between 4-6 mins apart and over a minute in length.

any news?

weeeeeeeeellllllllll?

Grrrr &

She knows that's bollox, right????

if anyone can get a message to her get that baby in bed with her, skin to skin and let baby find the breast !

oh sorry, i thought you meant sans baby meant baby was not in with her !

Peachy is passing on kellymom's recommended links on flat nipples

gawd bless peachy!

Now I come to think of it, what is midwife doing inspecting her nipples anyway? It's not exactly what you want when you're in labour in hospital, is it?

omg how deflating. you're need to be as positive as possible when you're in labour to get you through it and this mws making her feel down by telling her she can't bf can anyone tell her about breast crawl? don't let her do what i did when i was having trouble latching ds on and let the mws shove my boob in ds' face, scare the life out of him and give him an aversion to feeding
