Morning ladies,

Just while i'm rocking back & forward on my birth ball thought i'd post a quick msg! I'm having strong regular contractions....woohoo! I've been like this since about 12.30 n cant sleep or even attempt to sleep thru them!

7 mins apart at the minute & last 40 seconds! Major ouch but i keep thinking its gunna get worse than this so keep breathing! Have left DH in bed so at least one of us has had some sleep! I hope to god this is it & its not going to stop!

Good luck ladies!

G/C but most women enter labour overnight & often during a full moon (something to do with lunar energies). For it to be active labour contractions are normally within 3mins apart & last a good 90secs literally taking your breath away. Good luck ladies, you aren't too far off.

Oh no butterflies. Hopefully it will speed up a bit. Nowt from me. Mw said I was 1cm dilated yesterday but there's nothing happening. The most activity I get is when I'm walking but having been on a 3 1/2 mile wall today, there's only so much walking I can do.

Good luck butterflies. I really hope it happens soon. I feel your frustration even if I'm not feeling the pain yet.
