my contractions started at about 2pm yesterday went to hospital at about 7pm as contractions were every 4mins lasting 40 seconds. when got to hospital m/w examined said i was in labour but contractions wasn't strong enough to dilate my cervix so sent me home. been up all night with back ache and contractions. baby is lying back to back so i'm in totally agony, still getting contractions now but irregular. bouncing on my birthing ball and warm baths helps but is there anything else i can do to progress things anymore struggling to cope with pain. oh yeah its my 1st pregnancy.
