OK just for a laugh ... place your bets on how long Miaou will be in labour this time [grin]

[Miaou]

Not that I'm in labour yet but due a week on Saturday so not very long to go ...

A little background info to help you decide:

dd1 - 16 hours from start to finish - had an epidural which they reckon slowed it down.

dd2 - 8 hours and ditto the epidural

ds - 4 hours (waterbirth, no intervention)

Soooo ... m/wives seem sure it could all be over in 2 hours, I'm not so convinced myself!

oh good luck...please post photos as soon as poss...

GOOD LUCK SWEETIE!!! xxx

We Pestos are wishing you well and looknig forward to the padding of tiny paws!

Lots of luck!!

Aw you are all lovely - but I'm still here and nothing is happening atm (grrrr)! Lucykate I think you are right about zoning in on every little niggle ... I'm driving myself mad tbh!

VVV you get a bridesmaid's bag (I started it today!) - well you get that whether you are right or not, me being a generous kinda soul ...

I guess we go from when contractions are fully established - but will go with what officially goes in my notes at the end - so you'll all have to wait to find out ...

OK

Euan Hamish born yesterday, announcement here

Labour - 1st and second stage - according to my notes - was 3 hours and 44 mins

I'm sorry Foghorn, I should have pushed harder I know ...

My guess is 3 hours 44 minutes.
