    IT is different for eveyone hon. Hope it is ok so far. Like grateful says, just keep pottering around, it is a lot easier if you are letting gravity help. It might be a while before anything too exciting happens. I was about 27 hours with my first one from my waters going till he arrived. I went to hospital too early really, and then they get you on the bed and it all slowed right down.

    DS2 wasn't hanging round though when he came.

    Best of luck. Sending very positive easy birth vibes for you. :A

    Thanks everyone :)

    DH is on his way home as work will let him work on his laptop. He's picking up some more paracetamol for me.

    The pain's are all centered in my back - I thought they'd be in my stomach

    I had it all in my back too, in fact feeling it in your bump is a sign of extra progress IMHO.

    Are they still going strong?

    Hey SmlSave,

    Just started my own MF diary on this board, I decided I was going to read yours from the beginning as your situation seems to match with mine, I spoiled it by seeing how many pages long it was and spotting you were pregnant, and now I quickly log on and your having a baby!!! Thats crazy!!!!

    Good luck!!! Hope your feeling ok must be very exciting and scary!

    :D
