My three previous labours have all been quite smooth and quick. My first was induced but only 6hrs, the second and third were spontaneous and 4 & 2hrs respectively. Each of the deliveries were 23&25 months apart but this time it's a longer gap 40months.
Obviously no one can tell me what will happen but I'm wondering if I can maybe expect a very fast delivery or if it might turn around and go even longer...
🤷‍♀️

What have others experienced? Anyone with a crystal ball for me? 😂

Congratulations Flowers

All my labours were quick. 4th was an hour, I don't like hanging around in hospital when I'm comfortable at home plus I had to wait for DH to come pick me up and drive me there. I had loads of braxton hicks for at least a week with my 4th so it was difficult to gauge I was going into labour, I would have preferred to have been there sooner than I was - standing at the reception desk mooing at the receptionist Grin. Sorry!

Thank you @thatwouldbeanecumenicalmatter !

Based on nothing scientific, I feel like it will go fast. I have a vague daydream that it will be spontaneous and easy and happen somewhere easy to clean 😂 I also remember very clearly my last easy/fast delivery during which I implored to my husband that I was NEVER DOING THIS AGAIN... 🤷‍♀️😂
