I had been having contractions from about 11pm - pretty irregular and more like mild stomach cramps - they got more regular and stronger about 3am - at 5 am got up off the sofa(hadn't been able to sleep in bed cos I was too restless and didn't want to disturb DH too much) to go to the toilet and had a huge gush on the lounge floor - DS Jackson was born 10 hours later
