First time posting and I was just wondering about everyone’s experience of labour times. I know everyone and every labour is different but just wondering if my previous labours give an indication to my next labour.
Currently 37+0 with baby 3. My first labour was at 41+1. Slight contractions from 1am then waters broke at 3am and she was born at 4.11pm so 13 hours from waters breaking. My second labour was a bit more complicated. My waters broke at 39+1 but nothing happened so was induced the following day. No one examined me even though I kept telling them it didn’t feel the same as when my waters broke with my first labour. I had a pessary put in at night then removed the following morning at 6am. Doctor examined me at 9.30am and informed me that it was my hind waters (which I had never heard of) that had broken so I didn’t need to be induced. She then broke my waters and I gave birth 4 hours later at 1.35pm. I Should have been more insistent that I be examined but I saw multiple midwives and they just kept saying we’ll take your word for it even though I said it was different. Anyway, do you think based on that info that I’ll have a quick labour this 3rd time from my waters breaking. I’m worried if I do that I may not make it to the hospital in time.
Thanks
