UPDATE
2nd Message - time - 10.30pm - Im still waiting, still contracting every 5 mins, but his head is stil not engaged, they won't check my cervix because they don't want want to do anything to bring it on, managed so far with no pain relief.
UPDATE
3rd Message - time - 7.17am (Sat) - Only got one hour sleep and when I woke contractions have stopped, they have given me iv antibiotics and 2 lots of steroids for baby, they won't check my cervix in case it brings anything on again but want to keep me in as head head still isn't down and yesterday I was 3 cm dilated, they say cord could come out first, got my own room just now but they are moving me to bed bay.

I'm now 4cm, waters are bulging and getting more painful.
UPDATE
5th Message - time - 4.10pm (Sat)
Head is now fully engaged, had alot of bloody show but I'm stuck in bed as baby's heartbeat is going low.
Babydust, all our prays are with you, take care honey
UPDATE
Babydust's contractions stopped in the night so she slept well. The hopital have sent her home, giving her husband clear instructions on how to deliver the baby if she goes into labour at home As you can imagine he is (in her words) shitting himself
I'll keep you posted with anymore texts I receive
