Hun, you will feel the contraction starting.... I said alot through my labours to DH "here comes another one...." then my breathing would get heavier as it peaked & calmed as it passed. Then feeling normal in between

Good luck, its a very exciting time!!! I know you're going to do a fantastic job!!

Yep i was the same - And DH said he could tell by the look on my face and the breathing etc when another contraction was about to start!
He also said i would be chatting away and the next thing i would be dead quiet as i tried to "breath" thru them!
AHHHHHH SO EXCITING - wish i could turn back time and do it all over again!
