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!
