I TOTALLY agree with what Tobily said about putting too much emphasis on timing etc. I stayed up all night when I first went into labour so excited that it was finally happening and by the time I went to hospital 9 hours later, I was so exhausted (understatement!!!) that I was falling into comatose sleep between 1 minute contractions and ended up needing a vacuum extraction because I was too weak to push properly. I even had a stopwatch and a graph and was plotting all my contractions thinking this would help the midwife. I know this time to sleep and rest as much as possible.

Good luck and I hope this happens soon for you.
