progressing labour?

[valleygirl24]

Anyone know what I can do to try and make things happen?

Everytime I woke up last night my stomach was like a rock, and Ive still been getting some tightenings this morning. What can I do to try and get them from uncomfortable niggly tightenings into proper contractions that may get my labour underway. I honestly dont think I could deal with another few days like this, I want it to be all or nothing.

Hey! I think I know how you are feeling, I had quite bad pains last night & I'd hate for that to go on for weeks without anything happening.

I found this article about the latent phase of labour, which is what you might be in.

Its got some tips on how to get things moving. Hope something happens for you soon
