This is a really interesting thread!

I was 4cm dilated and had NO idea - I had had no contractions and had not felt that good in weeks, it was only at my obs appointment at 38 weeks he said "your 4cms and your waters are bulging - you'll be having your baby sometime today!!!"

However, They put the synto drip on to hurry things along for various reasons (not that it worked mind you! It was after about an hour of being on the drip did I start to feel contractions.

I remember asking so am I in labour? and the midewives kept saying - yes you are in active labour - just felt ridiculous cause I couldnt feel anything!
