Something is happening! I think?
Hi ladies,
Have been for my 4th sweep today, getting contractions for the last 2 hrs every 8/10 mins or so - not that regular yet. Very strong though (well quite painful).
Oh and the MW said I was 2.5 cm dilated...
When do I phone the hospital? And what can I do to speed them up and make them more regular?
Any info from you woud be fab!!!

Not really sure when youre meant to phone the hospital as I had a domino with my last but I thought it was when the contractions were 5 min apart. I'm sure if you phoned them they'll tell you when to call back
Good luck

Just to let u know Im still at home getting contractions every 5-6 mins. Phoned the hosp last night, Mw said she wanted the bad pain to last over a minute for me to come in, so taking codine! So all in all been having contractions all night and this morning...
I need them to get stronger and closer together - this is a nightmare!!!

if it gets too painful just go in coz mine weren't regular at all but were too painful and when i got to the hospital i was 6cm!! are you bouncing on your ball?
good luck hope to hear from you soon x. danielle
Am coping, just about! Bloody hurts tho! Am gonna try and wait as long as I can... saying that when they are comin they really do take my breath away!
Am knackered but really excited, and am bouncing on my ball but the dogs go nuts everytime they see it and are doing my head in!
Hope this is proper labour - the pains are starting below my bump and then really painful in my lower back!
Hope you are ok and will keep u updated

yes, my poor sister had to blow it up herself rather than using the pump poor thing! We couldnt work out how to attach the pump. hehehe
will def keep u posted!

am still at home went to the hosp and was only 3cm. nearly 4. I could have stayed in but decided to come home for a while. I am in absolute agony! Wanted to do this with Gas and Air, but its so painful I really think I will need an epidural!
Am having a bath now at 3.10 am.... these contractions going on for nearly 36 hrs
Just want it over with

Take care, Juliette
