Hi guys,

Just quickly touching base, I woke up at 1.00am last night with strong period pain cramps every 25 mins up until about 4.30am when it was every 15 mins. Hubby is home with me now, been getting pains ranging from 8/15 mins apart lasting from 25 to 40 seconds - this had better be it!

I had a bath about an hour ago and pains still coming and going. Rang the hospital but they dont want me to come in until 5 mins apart of waters break.

Im confused though as I havent had a show or lost plug or anything - please tell me this is for real and not practice as I dont think I could do this if this is just a warm up!
