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!!

Oh Blimey.

I'm REALLY hoping no news = good news.

I remember when my hip broke, I lay in the corridor in A&E, telling DH he had to log-on to Mumsnet and tell them I wouldn't be going to the meet-up.

Ah, just realised, it's quite likely that the power lines have come down up there you know, so all may be absolutely fine, but no electric for the 'puter.....?

"Please retweet for all worried about #StellaMel on #Mumsnet, Mel had a boy at 1:30 this morning, 9lb 3.5 oz. Mum & baby (Jimi Ray) fine."

Obv can't confirm any details, but thought you'd like us to share
