After leaning on the back of the couch for about 20 mins the pains started subsiding. I went to bed and was a bit crampy but nothing like the cramps every 2 mins! I got a good nights sleep and feel very energetic again this morning.

Middy checked me out today, was excited that we were getting BH's and has told me to hold off the evening primrose oil and raspberry leaf tea which I was going to start today. She thinks this bubs is pretty keen to come out and she is in a great position for labour so I'm really happy that I have been doing my exercises and not sitting on the couch.

Thanks everyone for checking up - hopefully another 3 weeks and it will be the real thing!
