Hello all. And welcome to the long and winding road of labour. The first contractions happened at 4am on Saturday 10th December… They have been coming every 15 mins or there abouts, but 60 hours later, we’re no further forward. Only lacking sleep and motivation!

Andrea has been doing really well and we have already had 2 trips to the hospital. The second trip provided us with a TENS machine, that I can highly recommend as it has made the contractions standable. Andrea can actually get a bit of sleep between them.

We met with the midwife this afternoon and things still seem to be going normally. Apparently the longer this “early labour” the quicker he will drop out. Hopefully there is not much longer to go!

A tired Wim and Andrea

PS – 4 down, 4 to go in the NCT girls group.
