    Ange, that's how I felt yesterday so I went with it and didn't do a thing all day. I woke up this morning with plenty of energy and have been laboring all day. On my way out to the hospital. Hope its the same for you! LV.

    Hi Ange, I don't think we are much help here as we are giving you hope thinking it might be tomorrow and it could be another week, or dare I say two. I don't mean to be discouraging but hang in there, baby will come when it is ready and with all this prep you might have a quicker one. Anyway, just go with your body. Rest when you need to and if you do have extra energy go with that to. Sleep well tonight.

    It sounds like a lot of pre-labour to me. Hopefully when bub does decide to make an entrance, it'll be a quick labour for you

    Ange, I know how frustrating it can be, I had a show and really good pain each night for a week before my bub #2 came, the pain would die down during the day to nearly nothing but I found it hard to rest looking after DS who was four and not keen to sleep during the day. Once I did go to the hospital it still took 24 hrs before she came. I'm not wanting to dishearten you just letting you know that sometimes they can take a merry old time to get here. In hindsight even though it was a long labour I would say that it was the most enjoyable. To me it felt like the membrane was holding her in, because once that membrane gave way she was out in a couple of pushes.

    Best wishes for a beautiful labour

    Ange, Well it's highly likely you will have a short labour I think! Have you spoken to your hospital at all? Have they checked to see if you are already a bit dialated? wouldn't it be great to hear you're already 4cms!!
