No you won't look silly, the amount of times i thought i was in labour, just wait and see how you go, if they get pretty regular and gradual closer then its probably it!!

DOn't know if i missed it but will you get your home birth? x

i was ment to be booked in on thursday but labour ward was busy and my midwife couldnt come out to book me shes coming on monday. all community services are still suspended on weekends so if this is it ill prob have to go in. i know for a fact if i go in to be checked they wont let me back out.

My labor didn't properly start until my waters broke. I had mild period like cramping for a few days leading up to Hannah's birth, but nothing bad and she never did engage so I never felt any kind of pressure. Even after I lost my plug and my waters broke it took a few hours for the contractions to properly start. Sorry probably not much help.

Hope things happen for you soon

You can insist on getting a MW out to you, even if they have suspended the CMWs. Just phone the labour ward and tell them that you ARE HAVING a home birth and that they need to send someone out. My labour started with period pains that got worse to the point where I couldn't sleep. At some point I noticed that the pains had started coming regularly and that's when I woke OH up.

i managed to get some sleep it got pretty intense untill three the almost stopped now its just every now and again not at all regular but still painful. i called labour ward too see if they could get anyone out to me just to check me over but they said as long as babys moving im not bleeding/waters broken they arnt to worried....

so i guess now i wait?!!
