How did your second labour differ from your first?

[Rosie's Mummy]

Im really interested to know. With Rosie I was in a state of pre-labour for a week with regular contractions that didnt lead anywhere until they really intensified then my waters broke after a good 6 hours of regular contractions.

Im wondering how its going to be different this time and would be interested to hear from you multiple mummies!

My two labours couldn't have been more different! K I was in labour 23 hours and pushed for a good 2 hours, E it was about 1h30, contractions started to properly hurt about 40 mins before I had her and she was born 3 minutes after I shouted mum and dad to tell them I thought she was coming! I did like2 small pushes! My contractions never got regular til I like the last 5 mins, they were still like 10 mis apart! With k I was contracting every 5 mins or so right from the start!

RM I thought your waters broke the other night? You've been going a while already then......

 

[Rosie's Mummy]

Princess this is an epic labour already! Im glad someone noticed that Ive been going for all this time

 

[Princess81]

No slows here. It's all been duly noted

My mum was 4 hours start to finish with us both, induced with me at 3 weeks late and bang on dd with my sis.

Bet you've cursed yourself for a LONG labour Helen lol

I blimmin hope not Vix! Well Im 1cm dilated already so I hope that all this action today is helping out for a fast and efficient labour! Fingers crossed anyway!

Get o/h to, erm, assist? Worked both times for my pal iykwim?

 

[Rosie's Mummy]

Yep done that - have got a seriously painful hip atm though so its a bit more difficult. I think OH is too tired anyway tonight after work

 

[Me, My Girls & I]

Sounds mean but I hope you don't have a faster labour than me! I like having the record on here for fastest labour! The poor young hot ambulance man had never seen a baby born in a bathroom before! Think it was even worse that the room looked like something from the exorcist and he had to take a peek at mu placenta hanging out *voms*

My 1st I was in labour 23 hours,progressin slowly but surely.

My 2nd I went to hospital thurs morn,2cm dilated,was assured a dinner time baby,1pm,still 2cm dilated so was sent home,went back at 9pm,was 2.5 cms dilated (grrr) was told I'd b checked at 1am,12:15 and I needed to push,was reluctantly checked to discover I was 9.5cm,they broke my waters and he was born at same time...half an hour b4 they were gonna check me!!!

My 3rd I went into hospital at 6pm,was 2-3cms dilated but he was footlin breech (feet first) so had an emergency c-section xxx

With my first I think I was in slow labour all week but I had a show and went into hospital at 7.50pm at 7cms dilated and had him at 9.20pm!

My 2nd my waters went at 10pm, I went into hospital at 12am at 5cms dilated and had him at 2am!

Pretty quick labours!
