YAY sounds great Sherie - usually contractions do start fairly quickly but not all the time, you are a lucky one Definitely get walking and help move things along so you wont be pushed for a drip Once they are about 1&1/2 mins long about about 3 mins apart, they are the good stuff A bath can slow things down and make you sleepy - so I think best to keep active at this stage. If you want to use water, jump in the shower
