well yesterday afternoon I felt like I went into advanced labour within an hour. wanted an epidural immediately, crawling around the bedroom, vomitting and generally feeling terrible with a lot of pain and contractions every 3 minutes. TENS on and things calmed down. had low key contractions every 10 minutes or so and went to bed eventually at 11. still having them at midnight but woke at 3 with no contractions but hard, painful tummy which lasted all night. went into hospital this morning with irregular contractions and still a hard painful tummy. monitored and examined. dilated and effaced a little so the midwife says go home, or stay if you want, it'll definitely happen today or maybe tomorrow morning.

have had a sleep and nothing really happening apart from what can vaguely be termed niggles.

fed up now.

Pinapple fresh - lots of
stimulate nipples in the bath
sex - has to rampant, quote upquote some elderly lady when I was overdue
long walks
v hot curry - i had vinaloo sauce all over my korma (oh err missus!!!)

However none of this worked with me so I got on the castor oil and it worked a bloody treat!!!
I'm not telling you to do that though, just saying what i did.

lots of luck.
