I think I am in labour

[rose]

Although it wont be out tonight, especially since it is already 12.30am

I am having contractions. Timing them on the contraction master. Great pc program. They are between 5-15 min and lasting 1-2min. Every second or third cx is very painful. Although I know from last time I could still be here tomorrow and be a long day but hopefully have a baby in the next 24hrs.

I have a tens machine but dh is asleep atm so not sure when to wake him to put it on. Am coping with pain atm so maybe I wait a little longer.

Now I need to try and get some sleep between the pain before "the Big Event"

CONGRATULATIONS!! So exciting!!!

Thanks for the encouragement so quickly. I hope also that it will only be 24hrs or less. Especially being #4. It is my second non induced labour. #1&2 were induced ~ 6hrs length. #3 labour started like this but went on for 30hrs before ob helped a little with breaking waters and stretching cervix while I was under a contraction and gas. Hope that does not happen again.

Thanks again......Just eating some picklets for energy food. Very hungry.

Just got up and cx still going. Just had another one since posting in our thread. You are a champ at cheering vic. I hope I can be as encouraging as you at nightly feeds. I don't think I am going to let dh go to work this morning. Will need him for extra help with the other three ch if this keeps up or even get to the hospital.
