I spoke to DH about it last night and he's all calm lol. He just said "Well call the midwife and she'll let us know what to do. If we're ever not sure we'll just call her and it'll all be good." Ah at least one of us is rational!

So I think if we start at home we'll just time contractions, test my mood along the way and keep in touch with the midwife (it's a one2one program so very handy). Feeling a bit better about it this morning, thanks everyone
