Am hoping my second labour is NOT as quick as my first! 3hrs 20mins from waters breaking (first sign), 2hrs from first light pain with approx 1hr established labour and 3 pushes.
FX it was so quick due to her being early and smallish.
Would quite like to know I'm actually in labour before I have a baby this time around

First time around I woke around 2am to extremely mild pains. We made it into the hospital at 6:30 where my waters broke and then things actually started. She was born just after 7, so all up about 5 hours. She was 8lb 9oz, 1 day overdue.
Second time around I was really worried it would be faster so at the first sign of a pain at about 2am we went to the hospital. It never really eventuated into anything so we were sent home around 6:30. At 7 my waters broke and I finally had a decent contraction, she was born just after 8. I guess thats about 6 hours from first pain but really only an hour still slightly longer than the first, although pushing was the same. She was 9lb 6oz, 3 days overdue.
Oh yeah and I had a lot of Braxton Hicks second time around, I guess maybe because I knew what they were.
Wishing you all the best Sarabetha and fingers crossed this baby doesn't keep you waiting too much longer.
I had zero BH with DS1, DS2 they started at about 30ish weeks from memory (mind like a sieve) and drove me batty. LOL Then again I was really stressed out with work stuff, ended up on ML early and noticed they calmed down a bit once I had stopped working.
I had really quicker and easier with DS2, but still wouldn't wish really quick on my worst enemy.

Thats pretty much exactly how my labour went except I was in established labour 40 minutes after waters broke. I'd be interested to know how you get on this time hun. Just out of curiosity
