How much warning did you have when you went into labour with

you have from "I think I might be in labour" to "ow, I am
definitely in labour" to "waaahhhhhhh" new baby???  Midnight -
first twinge 1am - on the phone to the hospital 2am - arrive at
the hospital 9.30am - baby arrives  DeckTheHallsWithBartimaeus
Mon 17-Dec-12 11:58:21  5am - gave up trying to sleep as had
been having twinges most of the night 6am - starting timing
contractions and they were every 3 minutes but didn't hurt 11am
- starting thinking "ow! this is definitely labour" 12.30 - got
to hospital 3pm - epidural (which may or may not have slowed
things down) 8.20pm - baby arrives  I kinda knew I was in labour
even with the twinges as I'd never had them so much before. The
morning before the birth I saw the midwife for a standard
checkup and she said I'd go to my due date (2.5 weeks later).
Couldn't feel baby move most of the day so went to A&E to be
monitored. (different) midwif
