Thanks everyone. I still haven't gone to the hospital yet but these contractions woke me up. I've only slept like an hour :(

Try to stay calm and relaxed mummy! Remember to breathe and try to control your emotions. I got to 3mins apart and lost it and they had to zonk me out,  not the nicest feeling. You can do this!

Breathe in deeply through your nose and out through your mouth. Have whoever is with you press in your lower back during a contraction. Try a warm bath or rocking on a birthing ball.
