First labour was 3 hrs
I was induced at 42 weeks
Had an abruption and he ended up being pulled out w ventous.
It was kinda wierd being induced- knowing when it was going to happen
We ended up going to see Start Trek at the movies that day- it was weird knowing that at 6pm Id be in hospital having a baby! The first scene in STar Trek was a woman having a baby!!!! lol Ill never forget that.

First was 40+5 and was a 74hour labour with the MW saying I was well established into labour at 3hours into it.
Number two, well I'm too scared to go through nine months of pregnancy to find out becuase the labour was the easy bit. LOL

Bailey was born at 39+ weeks 3 1/2 hours start to finish (first contraction, show and waters breaking started everything off)
Aidan was born at 26 weeks 5 days after 10 hours start to finish, and that was even with 2 lots of drugs to stop him coming!
this little lady has already had me in hospital twice! so am dreading the day I do actually have her lol

Ryan was born at 40+6 and labour was 4 hours long from start to finish. Waters broke spontaneously at 1.30pm and he was here by 5.35pm. I didn't even get a chance to get into the pool! I had zero symptoms of labour before my waters broke.

My first, at 40 weeks +( 2hours) I woke at 2am with mild contractions. By 7:10 she was out. So in total 5 hours with maybe 10 minutes of pushing.
Second time around we were scared I was going to go a whole lot faster so we got to the hospital at the first sign of a niggle, once again woke at 2am with very mild contractions. After being in the hospital and the pool for a while everything just stopped and I was sent home at 7am. At 7:01am waters broke and baby was out by 8:20am. So all up was just over 6 hours - longer than the first. I am just never entirely sure what really counts as labour..... pushing was only about 10 minutes again but then Maddi was ginormous. Oh and second time around I was 3 days over due but when she was born looked more on the side of undercooked.

First came exactly on his due date - show, then waters around 1.30 am, then contractions an hour after - all kinda text book, done and dusted by lunchtime
Second was 41 weeks or 42 weeks exactly by my calculations - either way LATE and had ittirtable uterus for days and days before hand and labour off and on for about 3 days prior? Booked in for induction on 15th,. however rung MW on the 14th saying I was over this on and off bulldust so she said come in, if you are more than 3cm dilated we will induce today other wise you willb e too tired tomorrow. I was 4 cm so she put the gel in at 11.30am, contractions started full on half an hour later. She popped my waters when hubby arrived (he was out of town on a job) at about 3.25 she was born at 3.45 easy as. EASY as. unreal, as number one was painful, grazes and tears and OMG awful. #2 was a doddle.
