Ashlea - this is super exciting. I had a very long pre-labour too (7 hours sleep in 3 days) and it is the exhaustion and length of the labour that is the killer, not the pain necessarily so try to conserve energy as best you can and try not to watch the clock. People kept telling me this too and I know it's hard!
Ash, how exciting! I agree with the others, try AMAP not to watch the clock, and don't stress about knowing when to go to hospy....you'll know, trust me! Hang at home for as long as you can hun. As you said already, its' so much more comfy for you at home, and nobody's there to make you lie down (I remember how awful that is!).
You can do it hun, just do whatever you feel you need to during those contractions
