what's the first thing you do when you realise you're in labour?

I immediately jumped in the shower, was heading down to the hospy to be checked out so wanted to be nice and fresh. I clearly remember standing in front of the heater, wrapped in a towel and reading Sheila Kitzinger trying to work out if I was actually in labour LOL all while DH rushed around packing all the things we hadn't organised yet.

I didn't actually realise my pre-labour had become labour, and my contractions never really got closer that 10mins apart - I kept waiting for them to get closer together. We laugh now that it was lucky I went for a check up with my Ob who sent us on to the hospital, otherwise we might have realised too late! She was born 3.5hrs later.

I finished making DH homemade cinnamon scrolls for his breakfast! I knew he'd need the energy and I didn't want to waste the dough. He was chomping away while I was in labour. I had one bite and promptly threw up.
