Bear with me on this one, I've never gone into labour before....it sounds promising, right?

Should I ring DH?

Should I put my (2 hour journey away) childcare on standby?

guyFAwkesreQuiem · 03/11/2008 21:10

ooo sounds promising - my show came out in dribs and drabs and I had what I thought were just BH's - obviously they weren't - as DS3 was here the following day

pointydog · 03/11/2008 21:11

very frustrating for you. Hope your wait is short and all goes well.

whomovedmychocolate · 03/11/2008 21:12

MamaG - all good practice - don't worry it'll come soon enough. Get some rest.

I still remember the tick in your armpit and smile whenever I see your name!

ladytophamhatt · 03/11/2008 21:12

One word.

GRAPES

ladytophamhatt · 03/11/2008 21:13

You baby will be here by tomorrow lunchtime if you get munching of a few lbs of grapes.

I'll put money on it....

misdee · 03/11/2008 21:14

cheesesarnie · 03/11/2008 21:16

ladytophamhatt · 03/11/2008 21:16

Kbear · 03/11/2008 21:19

MrsCATHERINEWHEELsley · 03/11/2008 21:22

misdee · 03/11/2008 21:24

NorthernLurker · 03/11/2008 22:39

Mamag - sick, contractions, runs, a show and a look on your face that can curdle milk - judging by the fact that everyone ran a mile at school....you are in labour imo! This time tomorrow baby mamag will be here - i'll stake a Cath Kidston tablecloth and a basket of bunting on it!

MamaG · 04/11/2008 07:49

OK everybody this is it - def having real contractions, about 30 mins apart

Mum on way

DH not gone to work

Wish me luck!
