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.

good luck spb, I know it's too late now but I went from 2cm to fully dilated very quickly with both of mine, they kept saying it'd be ages and it wasn't. I thank RLT hopes it's worked for you
