Fran, Angus slowed his movements right down in the 24-48 hours before I had him as well, so much so that I actually went in to get him monitored as I did not have one single symptom of labour ( ie no contractions, no show or anything) You know you are on your way hun with those contractions, so I can only second what most of the girls have said and stay home as long as you feel comfortable and rest if you can as well.

Goodluck hun!!!
