How exciting Teeki!

We were told five minute apart contractions but realistically it's more like when you get to the point that you cannot talk or do anything between or during contractions. I could still talk to my midwife on the phone when my contractions were 5 apart so I hadn't reached that urgent stage of things suddenly speeding up and feeling out of control. We rang the hospital about 10 times during labour with DD as we wanted the reassurance more than anything and it was when I couldn't speak on the phone that she said you had better come in!
