I started having contractions not long after I lost my plug. They were very mild and DH had just left for work, so I lay in a comfy position in bed and posted on BB! LOL! When DH took his break and called me, and asked if he should come in, I said no! I too found that if I got up to walk around, my contractions lowered in intensity and frequency. When they got a little stronger, I sat on my fitball. Finally I got back in bed to get some rest, had a stronger than normal contraction and got up on my hands and knees and my waters broke! And then it was on for young and old, DH made it home from work, and when I got to the hospital I was 7cm.

Good luck, it's a fiery exciting time
