Another false alarm

After the fire alarm at the hotel, it seemed the day's dramas were not over as I woke in the night with tummy pains - some of which felt quite like contractions. For a while I was quite concerned that Pod was about to arrive early - and we were 275 miles from home. We called the local hospital who advised me to take paracetamol, have a hot drink and monitor the contractions over the next hour. Thankfully after an hour things were starting to ease and we didn't need to go to hospital. What a relief to be back home now!
