# Labour has started...

Laura has gone into labour - I think it all started about 1 o'clock in the morning. She woke me up at about 5 o'clock and told me that they were getting more regular. I was completely out of it and didn't understand what she was telling me until I'd got up and come downstairs! I thought we were supposed to be going somewhere!

We've also got the birthing pool fully inflated and ready to fill.




She's just attempting to phone the midwife
