i hope it happens soon for you Raz, i have never dialted so cant give you my experience but is the pain a constant thing or like in waves like contractions?

Good luck! Both times for me it was about 2 hours from 3cms to birth, but that is obviously a different kettle of fish because I didn't get any more that 1cm until I was in the throes of labour. Hope it happens for you soooooooon!

Nickers - I am in constant pain (for the last few hours but then at points it gets really bad, then goes back to manageable. I cant say it reminds me of my last labour but who knows!
