Won't be long, contractions!

My wife has just informed me that shes having contractions or maybe it's indigestion

but she says it's every 5 minutes and the pain is manageable at the moment. She's due on the 25th.

So woohoo!

Thanks

I've suggested she try and doze otherwise she's going to be knackered.

contractions can last for ages the mother of my child had a stupidly long labour then she needed a C-section anyway because shes to tight down below...

was the same with her first child aswell.

Good luck with the labour! may it be a fairly swift one

Initial contractions can last a good 12 hours, did with my little one.

But, congratulations!

Our first one slid out we were at the hospital at 3 and by 5 I had a little boy.

Anyhow, we both fell asleep and the pains have gone, so it's back to waiting! False alarm!

Normal time to give birth is +/- 2 weeks from the due date.
