...I think. I currently sat on my own, waiting for DH to come home from work, terrifed. Please lie tell me it'll be fine... (and shouldn't it have started hurting by now?)

happy xmas....you lucky girl

hi all, home again! they listened to the baby for a bit, no proper contractions so sent me home. If it doesn't get moving then I've got to go in tomorrow morning to be induced.

DH is currently making up a pile of pasta as I'm now starving, the turkey is about to go in the oven so we can at least have it cold on boxing day...

Well fingers crossed things kick off but do remember to turn off the oven before you run to the hospital!
