URGENT HELP PLEASE!! am I in labour? I am SERIOUSLY snowed in and need advice

Am 40Wks +9, had sweep yesterday, been having period like cramps since about 4am, across the lower part of my belly. Waters haven't gone. Cramps last about 15-30 secs, every 5-15mins.

Is this the onset of labour? I haven't rang midwife yet, as snow is so bad they won't be able to send someone to assess me, if anyone is coming out it will be a one trip job where midwife will have to come to me via our local mountain rescue team and stay till the job is done.

Any advice on what to do now or when to ring midwife etc would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

This thread is making me soooooo broody!

Hope everything is going well Stella. Do we think it shall be a 05/01 birth or a 06/01 birth then, it's all gone very quiet.

Song for Stella's baby

onadietcokebreak · 05/01/2010 22:34

waiting for news.....

MmeLindt · 05/01/2010 22:35

Flocon is French for snowflake

Only know that because our dog's brother is called Flocon.

Neige is snow.

Not sure either of those work as babynames though.

Hope things are all going well Stella, looking forward to an update when I check in the morning - probably before less important things like DCs breakfast!

StayingDavidTennantsGirl · 05/01/2010 22:44

Ohhhhhh - I am going to have to go to bed without knowing if the baby's been born. I know for sure that dh will look at me with his 'this woman is headed for insanity' face if I tell him I want to sit up and wait for the baby to be born.

BitOfFun · 05/01/2010 22:44
