Hi mummies,
Very nervous, i have 3 weeks left on sunday before my lg duedate.
She is my 4 th child and just wanted to know your experiences.

1st 9 days late, waters went 5am but didnt have him until 6.17pm by csection
2nd 2 days late waters broke just after teatime ish and had him 2.17am with pethidine and gas and air.
3rd 10days late contractions started 2.30am got stronger around 4ish got there about 4.50 waters got popped at hospital at about 5/5.10am as was 9 halfcms and had her 5.44am gas and air.

Does your 4th tend to come quicker as i am very nervous about getting to hospital on time we dont drive.

Sorry for the long post thankyou for reading xx

All my 4 were induced and all very quick but my 4th was my longest.

Exactly as Mo, 4 inductions and number 4 was 22 hours on drip! Number 3 was only 20 mins so it was a bit of a shock!

4 inductions, none were quick to get me into labour.

Actual labour with #4 was recorded as 1 minute. Got out the bath and walked across to delivery room and my waters went (I thought I'd wet myself tbh) I got on the bed for them to look and it went 8cm, crowned, delivered. First pessary to delivery was 11 hours though at 42 weeks.

My 3rd official labour was very quick too but from 1st pessary to ARM was probably 30 hours. I was only 40 weeks though.
