   Hey ladies...

Just wanting some advice from those of you 'in the know'... Baby should be here any day now, and on Sunday, Monday and again today I've been on mammoth walks, we've jumped on the right foot and done the bad thing a couple of times, I've seriously been doing everything I can think of to try and start things going, or at least helps things soften up...

ANYWAYS! Since about noon, I've been getting the tightenings and crampy 'period pain/diahorrea' feeling, then at about 2 these were accompanied my an ache in my lower back, then for the last hour or so these two things have been joined by a sudden cramp like feeling in my inner thighs up by my nether regions and a really unpleasant pain in my bum - lots of pressure and a short sharp twinge that makes me stop in my tracks and I can't move until it passes.

I've been timing these, and the cramp and back pain is more or less constant, dying down every now and then, but then about every ten minutes or so I get the sharp cramp like pain in my pelvic area, thighs and bum... They are getting a bit more frequent and they're most definately getting more painful.

So should I keep an eye on things and ring the midwife when/if things become 5 minutes apart... Or should I ring now and just run things past her and see what she says?

Alright... Well thanks in advance - And boy oh boy, I hope this is it!
