Still not written up Dyl's birth story, but had a brain wave - here's the entire Twitter feed cut-and-pasted so you can see what I was tweeting during my labour!:
Going into hospital. Either waters went or i've pee'd myself in a very dramatic fashion. Contractions less than 5 mins apart...

... As much as they sodding hurt, lets hope they don't stop again. I want this baby today, like i predicted!

Finally leaving house. Contractions 3 mins apart. Ow.
9:58 AM Dec 31st, 2009 from txt
Ouch. Ouch. Ow. Oow. Too early for drugs. I want drugs. Ow!

Wah! Things have slowed down again. This baby is bloody stubborn. Might try and go home for a bit and scare the neighbours with my comed ...

Contractions about 1-3 mins apart and bloody agony but still not 3cms so no epidural yet and might even be able to go home for a few hours

Looks like Dyl is partially back to back hence the very slow, intermittent and painful early labour. Still not even in active labour but ...

... As i'm utterly exhausted already. Despite not wanting to, am going to have to have pethadine to control pain levels so i can rest.
3:28 PM Dec 31st, 2009 from txt
(Alex) Can't believe she lasted until 5pm with no drugs, not even gas and air! The pethadine seems to have done little :-(

Labour has ground to a halt. Had some sleep and the few contractions i'm having are agony. Thoroughly fed up
8:06 PM Dec 31st, 2009 from txt
A bath got things moving a bit but still barely 2-3cms so more pethadine and looking to move back to delivery for early epi soon

Helen says god bless the god of gas and air! (she's looking cheerful - Alex) x

Bad news: i've broken my Tens machine. Good news: going back to delivery ward imminently for my epidural.
9:45 PM Dec 31st, 2009 from txt
Very happy, in delivery room 5, my lucky number! Hopefully get my epidural shortly! :-)

Happy new year to me-my epidural is in, just waiting for it to work! Now i just want my binary birth boy to show up!
12:23 AM Jan 1st from txt
Epidural working, 5cms dilated, Alex packed off home for a sleep, now to try and sleep myself! Happy new year all!
1:44 AM Jan 1st from txt
Baby back to back so pain is coming through my epidural. Waters have gone completely now. Just waiting on Al's return and my dilation check.
6:31 AM Jan 1st from txt
Forgot to add, managed to pull my epidural out, not from my back but the drip bit thankfully. Must be my night for pulling wires out!
6:34 AM Jan 1st from txt
7-8cm dilated! I want toast and to be pain free! 6:59 AM Jan 1st from txt
Good news: baby not back to back after all. Bad news:epidural not working properly any more so am in AGONY
7:20 AM Jan 1st from txt
Would like to introduce Dylan Henry Ivor Davis, born 8.46am. My binary birthday boy is here! (01.01.10) Happy new year!
