4th labour - how long compared to the others?

[TotorosOcarnina]

Shorter? Longer?

My first 3 were all 6 hours, MW classed the 3rd as 4 hours but would say 6 myself!

Mine was about the same as 2nd and 3rd.
All the best.What dc do you have already?

My fourth was slightly longer than the first three, but I was induced.

1st 18 hours, 2nd 2 hours, 3rd 5 hours, 4th hour and a half.

Fourth felt much quicker than the other three

My first was an induction and that was 6 hours too, 14 days late.

but the other 2 came on time so haoping this one will also.

fidelma I have 2 sons and a DD.

My 1st was 3 hours, 2nd was 20 minutes, 3rd was 1 hr 20 mins & 4th was 45 mins. So guess all about the same really....with the first being a little longer as is usual.

When are you due?

Yes when are you due and do you know what you are having?

My god Kela!!
You don't hang around then!!

do you have homebriths?!I'm due April, got 20 week scan in a few weeks so will find out the sex then :) (but am sure its a boy!)

Sorry to take so long to get to replying! I did have 2 home births....unsurprisingly the 20 minute one was at home! I thought she was a poo.Went to the toilet & realised poo was actually a baby. 3rd one was also a homebirth. Other 2 in hospital (due to them being premature)

Good luck :)

Kela my first baby was 2hrs45 and am expecting my second - v scared as the new hospital is a good 30 min drive away. I will be living (temporarily!) at my parents' at the time and don't fancy a homebirth at their house - I think my mum would panic somewhat! Did you have ANY warning prior to the 'poo'?!
