With DD, I was surprise dto be having her. My waters had been leaking for a efw days and I went into hospy for a check up and they decided to induce me, so I had one very restless night in hospital and they induced me the next day.

With DS1, I was surprised because I had weeeekkks of pre-labour and I only went into hospital to get some pain relief and sleeping tablets because I had slept for about a week. They checked me and told me I was 8cm dialated andready to have a baby! I thought it was all just prelabour still!

With DS2 I think I had an inkling. I had been sitting outside my mums house with my feet inthe pool (it was a HOT night) and was just really edgy. I had had a silly argument with my mum, but kind of knew that wasn't what was making me irritated. Then I woke at 4am with mild contractions and I knew why I had been so irritated the night before.
