But if I am it's probably going to be very slow!

Having got to sleep at 12.30am (ish) last night I woke up at 2.30 and have been up ever since! I think I might have been woken up by a contraction.

Anyway, next one wasn't until 3.45am, then they came at half hourly intervals until about 7am, but haven't had any since... however I am feeling a great deal of pressure in my pelvic area.... here's hoping!

Only 5% Miaou, ds1 was born just on his due date at 11.57 and ds2 was 7 and a half hours into the next day, which is pretty close. I'm trying not to picture you and dh with a whip, my dd has 2 from pony magazine (one black, one purple) if you need to borrow one
Sorry I missed you earlier, out hay making, will try and get back to you once ds2 is asleep. more hugs

Well... don't get too excited , but I've been having mild contractions for about an hour, accompanied by backache, and I've just had another, much stronger one!!!

So back we go to hospital on the last ferry (8.50pm) in the hope that something more will happen! God I really hope this is it....

Looks like I won't get to speak to you again tonight, hope everything happens and all goes well, tell them to warm the water up. Hope for some exciting news in the morning.

Thinking of you too. Makes me realise how lucky I was with both ds1 and ds2 - ds2 coming in 1hr10mins start to finish. fingers crossed.
