    My contrax with Anelise were really similar... no real pattern until transition. Like Linzy my contrax slowed down when I layed down and I didn't mind, but then my water broke and it was systems go from there on.
    Try to get some rest. Tomorrow will most likely be a big day for you!

    With both my boys I had a show several days before they came. If you can relax and just wait for nature to take its course. Babes come when they are ready too and yours sounds as though its on its way.

    Thanks ladies!

    No more show since - isn't it funny how nature works differently with everyone? I am pretty happy to wait for this kidlet to do whatever she wants to do - but the niggles have me guessing.

    Lisa I hope you are right and it is sometime today !!

    I had pre labour for 3 days after mine! In my case, I wish I had rested as I was sooooo exhausted by the end of it and not getting any sleep.

    Just follow your body as the others have said and try to have a job to do. If you keep moving and do something like baking or cleaning etc (I actually did a heap of work on the computer between contractions and wrapped & packed Christmas presents (DD was born 2 weeks before Christmas) which kept me really busy and helped the contractions establish themselves.

    It sounds very exciting - I am very excited for you and will be watching the birth announcements in anticipation!!

    Woo Hoo!
