Labor labor progresses. False labor
doesn't. Labor labor is a constant.
False labor tends to peter out.
As cliche as this sounds, when it is real
labor, you will know.

your midwife should have a backup if she
is not available. Discuss this with her
and who you should contact while she is
away.

No unfortunately she hasnt as shes the
only one that specialises with us
teenagers in out area, I knew I should've
gone with a normal midwife at the local
surgery. Mine is so forgetful and
everything...Not good for a midwife but
she was actually pretty helpful yesterday
and I heard that the ones at the local
surgery are great! My midwife liz just
said that if I have any problems or
anything, just phone the labour ward and
they'll pass me onto a midwife there who
can help so im not at all worried at the
moment just very impatient

Impatient is the word. I'm counting down
days. I'm getting a few contractions not
consistat though. They are traveling from
my back to the front. Midwife said they
were contractins thier just not regular
enough to count really.

Yeah I was pretty scared this morning
because I started to have contractions,
one of them was very painful and bobby was
scared and didnt want me to go out. It
was mainly my back but also where the
babys head is laying but I haven't had any
as bad as that again today, only slight
ones and irregular

Yeah very! I went to my work place today,
haven't been there since I left for
maternity leave and everyone was saying I
tripled in size and looked like I was
having twins...Er, don't think so, even
thought the midwife was saying its a big,
healthy baby inside me :) and everyone was
saying that I wont last 5 more weeks of
pregnancy, give it two weeks and ill have
it. But pregnancy is so unpredictable, I
could come late
