about 2 mins apart.

my labours are always like this, instead of strong contractions that get closer together, i have close together contractions thats get worse and worse.

strange but thats me!

When I had ds I was induced, so it went from me nipping out to the shop to get some mints, to end stage contractions every two minutes for four hours....aaadffhhh. So I sort of know what its like.

MadameDefarge · 05/07/2009 03:12

though I have a sneaking suspicion that you are going to be a bit too busy to MNet before too long...

MadameDefarge · 05/07/2009 03:30

Does baby have a name yet? I'm sure your dcs have been most helpful coming up with possibilities...

DCs have named him george lmao!

MadameDefarge · 05/07/2009 03:40

that's a very nice name. But you might want to consider calling him George AIBU in honour of MN.

MadameDefarge · 05/07/2009 03:54

I'm going to keep checking on you, but am going back to bed...insomnia hell...
