So, my contractions started yesterday at 9 am...swiftly followed by my show. they started off quite regular (every 5 mins) as I was keeping busy. As soon as I sat down, they were all over the place. I tried to go to bed last night at 9ish but couldn't sleep so got up again. Then the contractions were 3 mins apart, lasting over a minute each. Called the MAU and was told to take 2 paracetomol and call bcak in an hour. When I called back, I was told to go in...This was at 1am this morning :happydance:... the midwife did an internal and it turns out I was only 1cm dialated :wacko:... apparently, they don't keep you in unless you are 3-4cm dialated... I was given 2 Codeine to help me sleep and then sent on my way... by this point, the contractions were coming every 2 mins or so... I was absolutely gutted!

Anyway, got home at 3am (ish) and tried to sleep but still contracting.... finally managed to drop off and have woken this morning to the contractions being alot further apart... at a guess 10 mins or so... :growlmad:... so now I have to get moving again... keep busy and go back when the pain gets uncopable again....:dohh:

Come on baby..... I've had enough... :thumbup:

Sorry to whinge on, it's been a long night :blush:

Oh no hun! I'd be gutted as well, especially since my hospital is about 20 mins away. Hope yours isn't as far away and that the contractions get a bit closer together today.
 
Midwives are useless when it comes to labour.. I got sent home when I had my daughter but when I went home it just got worse and I was screaming and couldnt stand it. I ended up forcing myself in the delivery room and laid down on the bed and the sensation of needing to push took over then 10 mins later my daughter was born. There's no point sending you home me and my partner are angry at the fact that they did.. I basically went from 4 cm to 10 in like 5 mins! If I had stayed at home like they told me to do I would have had my baby on the bed lol

Hope you have your baby soon hun there's nothing worse than waiting when ur in labour haha :)
 
i hope ur baby arrives today!! good luck!
 
Keep walking about, it'll get things shifting, come on baby!
 
Oh hun how disappointing. I hope things get moving for you soon.
 
Good luck lovey, hope it starts again for you soon. xx
 
I'm still waiting! :cry:

I've now been in slow labour and contracting for 52hrs.... I am tired, emotional and fed up!! Will this baby ever come? :shrug:
 
Sounds like my night except I didn't bother calling anyone about it. And now the contractions have stopped altogether. Still getting show, though...
 
Guys what do early contractions feel like?

By 'early' I mean, contractions before 4cm.
