[blue]

hi everyone
just wonderin is the labour for a third child generally faster than what it was for the second,,i am worried about this as my last labour was only 1 hr, and i am panicking envisioning myself givin birth on the bathroom floor...lol..but its not really very funny
so to you ladies who have more than 2 could you please help me here
thankyou

Yeah it was for me. My 3rd labour was only about a quarter as long as my 2nd.

Well, I hope to follow your trend, girls and that it is shorter than last, but i would like to make it to hospital... if for no other reason because my bathroom is tiny!

yea me too, im on full on panic mode all the time, as i also have got to get my boys looked after, just want to get it over with now im really stressing, my midwife has even talked me through what to do if i accedently have him at home, cos apparently the baby can suffer from shock (me too i would think).
o well its gonna happern in the next few weeks, and im as prepared as possible, u never know this one might not b faster , it has been 8 years since the last

My third was induced, and it took about three hours to dilate, then 40 mins of pushing. The midwife said he would have been out in ten minutes but he turned back to back which was bloody unlucky!
