I'm no help I'm afraid.
1st induced 39+2
2nd induced 39+5
Currently 38+3 with number 3 and no growth issues so expecting a normal labour this time. Already had some promising signs of things starting soon.

1st baby: 37+5, waters broke at midnight and she was born 20 hours later
2nd baby: 40+0, contractions started around 10pm and she was born at 7:30am on her due date

I was told to expect an early baby second time round so by the time she was born I felt like she was already 3 weeks late!

1st 42 (induced)
2nd 41+5 (spontaneous)
3rd 41+6 (induced)

123rd · 27/06/2017 22:18

Dc1-41wk
Spontaneous labour , under 5 hours start to finish
Dc2-40+6 spontaneous labour, under 3 hours start to finish!!( not even a stealth boast. I was in such shock afterwards I couldn't even hold the baby!!)

1st baby: 39+4. Waters broke first, then some period-type pain, then contractions. 4.5 hours in total, most of which was pushing.

2nd baby: 40+5, waters didn't break until right before the baby arrived. Less than an hour and a half start to finish. Like 123rd I was just in shock (And DH missed it as he as talking DD1 to nursery. He was only outback of the house for 10 minutes!)

KW89 · 29/06/2017 22:32

DS1 39+2 four hour labour, waters broke while in birthing pool.

DS2 39 35min labour, only just made it into the birthing pool before he made his entrance 😮

DC3 due November, hoping for another quick one!

alltouchedout · 29/06/2017 22:34

40+15, 40+10 (and you didn't ask about 3rd babies but anyway, 40+4).

Funnyfarmer · 29/06/2017 22:42

Dd1. Was 10 days early. Waters broke at 4:30am. Delivered at 7:20pm.
Dd2. Went into labour 3 days late. Started to notice contractions about 5:30pm. Gave birth at 2:30am the next day at only 8cm.
Only similarities between the 2 is I failed to deliver the plecenter naturally
