Hi all
This might sound like a silly question as I have actually had a baby before (8 years ago!!) but what were your signs of labour actually starting and how was it different from the general aches and pains we all seem to be having at this late stage?
My hubby is working quite far away this week and although I have been niggling on and off for a week or two and experiencing lots of braxton hicks I am a bit paranoid that I won't realise it's the real thing until it's too late for him to get back!! My first labour started with my waters going in the middle of the night and then it was a few hours beofre anything happened and people keep telling me that every birth is quite different!! Anyones experiences would be of interest!
Thanks
