    5th Labours, help!!!!!!

    Hi everyone

    I am having my 5th baby and am getting really frustrated with all the stop starting i seem to be having in regards to labour. My midwife has told me that 5th babies are notorious for being 'niggly' about going into labour. She said they can start and stop for a couple of weeks.
    I have had one whole night of 5 min apart contractions, which fizzled to nothing. Last night i had 20 min contractions all night which got worse when i got in the shower, but once i went to bed and went to sleep, they slowed right down again.

    I was wondering if any of you mum's out there that have had a 5th baby can tell me how your labour went, and if you had alot of pre labour before they finally decided to arrive????

    Thankyou
