            Morning all and congrats Stargirl!
 I think I've had that "bloody show" thing.....
 Then I was fulfilling my need for googling information and read this on babycentre uk:
 In early labour, also called the latent phase you may feel the following:
 Persistent lower back or abdominal pain, often accompanied by a crampy premenstrual feeling.
 A bloody show (a brownish or blood-tinged mucus discharge). If you pass the mucus plug that blocks the cervix, labour could be imminent or it could be several days away. It's a sign that things are moving along.
 Painful contractions that occur at regular and increasingly shorter intervals and become longer and stronger in intensity.
 Broken waters, but you're in labour only if it's accompanied by contractions that are dilating your cervix.
 and this:
 Can I tell if labour is about to happen soon?
 Maybe. Signs of the approach of labour include:
 Lightening (when the baby's head begins to drop into position in your pelvis). You may notice that you can breathe more deeply and eat more, but you'll also need to wee more frequently.
 Your vaginal discharge becomes heavier and more mucous.
 You'll have more frequent and noticeably more intense Braxton Hicks contractions.
 You may have loose bowels.
 Check to 5 of those :eek:0

            Ohh hope it is happening for you Spaghetti!
 Ea - didn't realise you can have the raspberry leaf tea from 32 weeks, i was going to start from 34. Where can you buy it from?0
