Was just wondering at what stage you went into labour with your first and than how different the next pregnancy/s were.
Reason for asking is this is my second bub with my first i went into labour at 38+2wks curious to see what my chances are this time
Thanksx xoxo.

Well with my 1st I went into labour at 18 weeks to the day, I had all back labour with her and didnt even realize what it was at first. I laboured for about 6 hours with her. With the 2nd I had her at 17+1 and it was SOOOOO different, there was no mistaking that they were contractions. Once they became regular I went for almost 7 cm to her crowning in about 15 minutes, while I was receiving my epidural. I have no idea what to expect with this one as the other 2 were so different, I only hope he follows his sisters and is eager to meet us early!

wait, labour at 18 and 17 weeks. am I reading this right?

OMg what was I typing. I feel so loopy today cant even find my words. I ment 38 and 37.

I had such i long awfull labour with my first i hope its a bit better this time.

Hi

This is my 5th Pregnancy although I had a missed miscarriage in between my second and third sons. I have 3 boys and a little girl on the way.

With my first son I went into labour 8 days early was in labour 3hrs 51mins. Only had gas and air. No complications and was straight forward delivery.

With my second I went into labour 9 days late was in labour 20 mins from start to finish (dont ask how I made it to hospital) No pain relief. No complications was straight forward delivery, but I did have to have my waters broken for me.

With my third I went into premature labour at 29 weeks which lasted on and off for a week (his heartbeat was dropping to 50 with every contraction) they finally managed to stop the labour and his heartbeat went back to normal and he was born 8 days early in the end. Was in labour 3hrs and 53 mins and had no pain relief.

I had no Braxton Hicks contractions with any of the boys but this time round I have had loads in the last few weeks.

My first was induced a week early, and i was in labour 3 hrs and 46 mins. 2nd 2 days early, and i was in labour roughly 2hrs. 3rd 1 day late, strong braxton hicks for a few hrs, but proper labour for about 15 mins. I was only in the labour suite 7 minutes before he was born.
This one will probably be born in a taxi enroute to hospital

My first was induced a day late due to pre eclampsia 20 hours labour epidural & forceps because of posterior position. 2nd 38w2days all natural no drugs but still 23 hours. 3rd 2 hour labour bit of gas and air again posterior but delivered easy. so all very different.
