Had 11 hours of contractions finishing up at 5am yesterday. Went into latent phase and started again at 7pm today more than 7 hours ago - still not less than 8 mins apart. Goign crazy as I've not slept in ages. What would you do?

Ring the labour ward for advice, they may want to admit you and could at least give you some pethidine to help you sleep for a bit, or advice on a more natural solution to have at home. A nice warm bath might give you a bit of relaxation.

That's good news. Good luck with everything, you definitely need to keep your strength up, if you feel up to it try to eat/drink a bit
