3rd Labour

[MJH27]

Just looking for people's experiences of third labour? My first was 18 hours but quick at the end, went from 5cm to meeting baby in 2 hours. 2nd baby was super fast 1 hour and 55 minutes from first contraction to him being born in an ambulance on route to hospital 🙄

2nd labour I didn't feel very supported and lost a lot of blood travelling to the hospital so I'm terrified this could happen again or be even worse.

Thanks in advance ❤️

I had a long labour with dc1 (28hrs)
Really quick with dc 2 (as in, I didn't get to the delivery suite...was about 90mins after the hospital told me I should go home, but I refused to)
With dc 3 they were all saying that it was a common pattern for labours to be long for first, super quick for 2nd and then longer again for third.
However, dc3 arrived in less than 3 hours from when I first woke up wondering if this was it.

I had two average labours, a few hours each. My third was longer in that I had contractions for days on and off which apparently is very common. It was tiring but manageable at home.

I got to hospital at 7cms. Once it kicked off it happened very fast, within about half an hour I went from 7cms-10cms. DC3 was out in 3 mins of pushing. Very easy recovery too.

Hopefully yours is also an easy one!
