Hi girls, well a torrid and sleepless night for me. The contractions slowed down during the night and so did the bubs movement, so just got back from the hosp and having bub monitored. He is fine, they sent me home, they expect me back sometime in the nearish future (though they did say that this stage may take a couple of days for a first-timer, so I may have a wait yet). Sushee, I hope you're right about established labour coming on more quickly...I figure my body parts have warmed up now LOL. Not sure about this bub being punctual and arriving on due date...will keep you posted or will SMS Sush if I can't come to the computer. Two sleepless nights in a row...I know I should get used it now, as that's what's in store for me pretty soon in any case!
