Is this labour?

Oh God, this is one of those really annoying "is it or isn't it" threads, but is anybody around to hold my hand while my body makes up its mind?

Have been having Cx about every 10 min for 1 1/2 hrs. Feel like period pains at the mo, can type through them. Diff from 1st labour which was all in my back. Am 39 + 5, but 1st baby was induced 2 weeks late so have nothing to compare it to.

Haven't had any show, waters or anything, BH have gradually been getting stronger but not this ouchy over past few days, usually get more this time in the evening.

Don't know whether to bounce & twiddle my nips to try & get things going or chill & try to rest. Would really like to know as I don't have much in the way of childcare options - my mum is 3hrs away. Have the HB stuff here but if I had to go to hosp before my mum gets here then would have to go on my own while DH waits with DS.

Can anyone chat with me or give advice while I see which way this is going to go?

Thankyou!

Well done melonian! Congratulations to all the meonian family and welcome to your new baby girl.

Fantastic having one of each.

Enjoy the loved up blissed out bit and forget the hospital - it just doesn't matter any more.

Have fun!

Thanks for coming back with your birth story, and congratulations to you all again (how has DS taken it all)? Ahh, I love a good birth thread.

Oh just come back to this Melonian and seen your lovely news!!

CONGRATULATIONS to you and your dp

although bristling with indignation on your behalf about the dirty bed - wish Gordon Brown was still on-line here to read that!!

It's simply NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!

Rant over

Back to feeling broody and coo-ing over your lovely little Melon

Countingthegreyghouls · 20/10/2009 18:18

meant to say "the dirty bed and the obs"

Anyway, congratulations again - I love birth threads x
