Won't be calling midwives for a while but need to alert DH to be with me and in laws to come and collect DS at some point. Contrax are manageable but I need to fix my vision on something and focus and breathe. They are not thick and fast but are certainly more regular and present than the last couple of weeks of irregular ones that come and go, stop and start. Also accomapnied by need to empty bladder and loose bowel. They appear to be here to stay for the last couple of hours and are definately NOT Braxton Hicks. Planning an HBAC so need to stay very calm and quiet and not set things in motion too late.
Perhaps they will fade away again, but your experiences would be helpful as to how close together before calling inlaws, DH, etc.
Would a shower make them stop/start?
My doula had to leave country and I'm in a foreign country so at a bit of a loss as to know what, when etc.
