I have to agree with Fionas. My pre-labour had been pretty intense since about 33 weeks and lasted for hours and hours so I was constantly wondering if I was in labour. It ended up being the joke that I would be sitting in a pool of amniotic fluid before I would concede I was actually REALLY in labour. I thought things were maybe changing just before 2am so I called my Mum to come and look after DD1 and then headed in (hospital 5 minutes away). Its lucky I didn't wait for my waters to break because DD2 was on my chest 10 minutes after they did! I went from 4cm dilated to birth in 15 minutes.

Not saying that to scare you - just that all labours are different. My first was a 36 hour long induction and my second, well it was reeeeeaaaallly fast!
