I was really out of it, and felt quite disconnected from everyone, like Cass said. I put it down to the really big week I'd just had, and being tired. I had my baby shower in the afernoon, and it was like I was on drugs or something. I did everything in slow-mo, I just couldn't hurry myself up. Apparently I was very flushed all day too. Strangely enough, I had less BHs than usual that day, from memory.

That evening the tears started (for no apparent reason), and just as I'd cheered up a bit, after two hours of crying (poor DH!) my waters broke. Cx started exactly one hour later, baby born 14 hours later, 5 weeks early.
