Not sure if this is it, if I disappear I'm either having a baby, or tucked up in bed fast asleep, all contractions having stopped.
Have been told that with my second baby I should be going in when the contractions are 10 minutes apart - is that really true?! 20 min drive to hospital, but obviously it definitely won't be more than that at this time.

Every little helps!

Sorry, sound like an ad for Tesco lol.

Exciting!

Hope you are feeling better now?

Try and get something sugary down if you can though.

StealthPolarBear · 18/09/2009 21:47

I'd just got into bed and thought I'd quickly have 5mins uninterrupted MN'ing and now I won't be able to sleep tonight, far too exciting

Is this a surprise cub or did you find out the flavour?!

EasyEggs · 18/09/2009 21:49

Anything now?

Rossco · 18/09/2009 21:49

That happened to me, there I was waiting and braced for the next and nothing happened. Soon started again though.

StealthPolarBear · 18/09/2009 21:50

just had one! Always worry they'll be particularly bad after a gap.
No, cub type is unknown

OOOH, you may be in transition, your body having a rest before the final push.
I remember this from my last dc, I stopped a couple of times and then it kicked in again after a rest.
Wow, am so excited have wolfed down two flakes without really tasting them, off to get another.

nevergoogledragonbutter · 18/09/2009 21:52

this is really exciting, but i have to go get some sleep. You better not be here in the morning missus.

Deeeja · 18/09/2009 21:52

Wow, you are doing so well, you can type while you are having them. Am in awe!

StealthPolarBear · 18/09/2009 21:53

night xx
no, typing between them definitely!

OP posts:
EasyEggs · 18/09/2009 21:53

Glad they're still there.

Even more exciting then, wish I hadn't found out this time but I'd be kicking myself now if I hadn't! Think bump knows something's going on, she's jumping around my stomach like a loon

StealthPolarBear · 18/09/2009 21:53

How you doing SPB? about 2cms, I'm sure you're more than that now, sounds like the sweep got things going more.
