am i in labour or not?

[pennybarry]

been having braxton hicks since 3am in the morning...
i started to time my contractions at 7pm... and they were 5 to 10 minutes apart.
then started to write down the time again at 9pm and they are 3 to 6 minutes apart.
i can still feel my baby is moving and no blood show or whatever they call it...
don't want to go to the hospital yet because it might be a false labour.
i can't sleep so i decided to get online and see what i can find browsing about labour.
and now writing it here in the forum just to have something to do and hoping it will divert the pain.

I heard that if you can't do smiling anymore, then the baby is coming
If you're screaming, then the baby is almost there

Yep it turned out to be contractions, 3 per 10 mins. Increased to 4 later.
Little fella weighed 9lb 2oz and had to pulled out using forceps
Hopefully I can collect them from the hospital tommorow as Chryss was very tired and needed to rest and have checks tonight.
Thanks to all the wellwishers and i`m sure Chryss`ll tell you all the gory details and upload some pics.
By the way, to all the fellas out there, I slipped the nurse a tenner to put an extra stitch in.....
