So let me tell you some background while we're waiting
Yorky is having her 2nd DC home water birth cx 3 mins apart but she's still fine, walking, talking and cooking DS's tea!

How fantastic! Good luck Yorky

Portofino · 19/11/2008 17:47

Ooh how exciting. I'm always surprised about how JEALOUS I feel reading these....like agonising contractions and people peering up your fanjo is something I'd really like to be happening right at this moment, rather than having a glass of wine and MNetting.....

nomoremagnolia · 19/11/2008 17:49

ooh friends, goody!
Yorky has just described a cx as 'more realistic'
