Pretty sure I am in labour. Had a sweep earlier today and was 3cm and had bloody show, back ache etc. went to bed couple of hours ago and just woke with an urgent need to do a number 2 (tmi sorry) whilst doing number 2 felt urge to push the baby too which is how my contractions felt with my daughter too. Last labour I couldn't stop pushing when it was too early as body made me do it so looks like this may be same.

Anyway it went off so I got back in bed and laid down and am on my 4th intense contraction in 20 mins. Full on bump tightening reaching a peak and then easing off and can feel baby being pushed against cervix hard during each contraction. Going to start timing them properly now but would say this is definitely it as they are pretty uncomfortable :) x
 
They are coming every 8 mins and lasting around 50 seconds at mo. Going to be a while I would imagine. If anyone is up can you tell me if I call hospital when they get to 4 or 5 mins apart? Been a long time since my daughter was born and my midwife didn't mention it! X
 
Firstly... Good luck!! I rang the hospital at 5 minutes apart and was told to call back when I had 3 in 10 minutes, each lasting a minute! I hope all goes well xxx
 
Thanks Hun, they are every 7 mins at mo so got a while to wait then :) x
 
I was lucky and mine went from every 5 to every 2-3 in about an hour. I hope you're not waiting too long! Enjoy your snuggles!! How exciting! X
 
ooh exciting hope you are having baby cuddles now :D x
 
I wish I was having cuddles! Think this is going to be a long labour, contractions still on 7 mins apart but getting more and more intense and lasting a good minute or so now. I have been getting 5 mins sleep between them every time and then they wake me up lol. My first labour was 29 hours so if I can get it down to 16 hours this time that would be fab! :) x
