Things are still going - got to a point about midnight last night when contractions were coming pretty much on top of each other. Called the hospital and they said to make our way in, so we got in the car and they called back saying they were full and that we should go to the other hospital (which is exactly what I didn't want, it doesn't have anywhere near as good a reputation for maternity). I'm really keen on a water birth and basically got upset and sat wailing in the car for a while and told my partner we were staying at home... and then that killed off all the hormones and labour ground to a halt again.
So napped for a bit, woke up in pain again about 3am, waited, called to check - hospital still full. Found a position that slowed things right down again and managed to get back to sleep. Same again about 6, didn't bother calling, and now just woken up again! I feel like I'm in some horrible limbo... but they say if I suddenly want to push I have to go in, whether other hospital or not. Hopefully lgi clears a bit this morning. Labour sucks!
Plus I'm allergic to damn paracetamol so haven't had any pain relief whatsoever... yeesh...
