Hi
I'm 31 weeks now with my second. I'm trying to make a few childcare plans for my 3yo DD. I am wondering realistically how long I might have from first contractions to needing to get to hospital having, got someone to look after DD. We don't have family near by so it will have to be friends and different plans depending on the day of the week and froends commitments they have and what time of day it is AND how long I might have before I need to be in the hospital.
My last labour was VERY long, latent fase lasted 5 days from first contrations, then 28 hours in hospital with a back to back baby... but the consultant has said there is no reason time why I won't have a simple quick second birth.
I am wondering what other experiances were of how long they had from start of contractions to full blown labour and birth.
thanks
