Hi, when I was in labour with DS it was spontaneous but very long (40 hours in total) & contractions never got regular.
For the last 10 hours or so I had an epidural & was on a drip turned up max - I know that because my epidural wore off & I could feel constant contractions at 10cm it was agony. Thank god they manabed to get it working again!!
I really want to avoid an epidural next time but are irregular contractions likely to happen again? It's not something I had heard of before, just assumed I 'wasn't in labour' even though it was agony. I had to get my DP to lie to the midwifes on the phone so I could go in hospital as they kept telling me it wasn't labour.
I just want to do ANYTHING to avoid this next time round!! (Due in 14 weeks)

Irregular contractions first labour, will second be the same?
