I guess when everything gets a bit more intense and contractions are in a noticeable pattern? Lol I have no idea what I'm gonna be doing with myself when it's my turn! X

When I had my 1st (nearly 12 years ago) I remember havin my sunday dinner and think oooh that hurt,didn't mention it to my oh til we left his mums and went to my parents house (about 4 hours later) he told my mum that I was havin pains,by that point I was havin to 'breathe' thru them,my dad timed them and got all excited cos they were comin regular,we went home at 9pm (approx 7-8 hours after they'd started) and phoned labour ward. They couldn't get a mw out to me so was told to make my way in,I was 2cms dilated at 10 pm and my son was finally born at 1.27pm (23 and a half hours after 1st niggle) trust me ul know wen ur in labour xxxx

You will know as the pains are different like period pains but on and off!! I lost my plug at about 1pm on the fri (no niggles or anything) then at about 10.30pm was a bit of blood loss nothing major and then at 2am sat morn i was getting pains, went to the loo and was alot more blood like beginning of period so woke up OH and went to hospital at 4am!! And at 6.33am my LO was born!!!
