Hi gals,

Thanks for the replies. I'm staying pretty relaxed about the whole "impending labour" (God bless you, hypnobirthing classes!). At this stage, the feeling I have is still just a vague, cramp like feeling which kind of drags across my lower tummy IYKWIM. Not getting any stronger ... it's just there.

It's more a case of "I wonder if this is my body getting ready'. When it's your first bub I think you rely heavily on advice/feedback/reassurance from people who have been there/done that. Kinda puts your mind at ease just a bit more to know that what you're feeling is just like what many others have been through.

I've actually got an Ob appt first thing in the morning, so till then I'll just go about my usual business (ie/ cooking dinner) and see what transpires. My gut feeling is that bub isn't on the way just yet, but I'm happy to be proved wrong

Cheers, Andie
