it kind of scares me that if you are so clueless how will you cope with a child? if you go to www.google.com and search for transistion it will tell you, im hoping your having anti natal appointments?

Clueless, I found this on the net. It is written by a midwife/doula: In the "transition phase" from 8 cm–10 cm (3 or 4 inches) of dilation, the contractions often come every two minutes are typically lasting 70–90 seconds. Transition is often regarded as the most challenging and intense for the mother. Some mothers say things like "I give up, I want to stop now. Forget this!" It is also the shortest phase.
