  • I had a back to back labour with my first (and this one is in the same position).



    The pains started as slight tightenings around my stomach and back- feeling as though I'd been winded unless I relaxed and breathed through the pain. Gradually the pains got stronger and lasted longer with shorter time between them.



    I had no pain in my vagina or cervix (which before I went into labour I assumed all the pain would be)!



    Good luck xx
