Oh Kaz...that does not sound like fun!! You poor thing. I'm not really sure what your options are here..but I will give you my experience. I was having quite a painful pre-labour ans took myself off to the hospital after 16 hours. They told me I was only about 2cm dilated. They did a stretch and sweep (which was quite painful) and almost instantly things got more intense and 4 hours later I was cradling my baby boy in my arms!!

I am not intending at all to give you false hope...just letting you know what hapened to me. (This was my 4th baby and I had never experienced pre-labour before).
