Didn’t know I was in labour last time

[crankypanky]

Panicking over here!

My last Labour - I had absolutely no idea, no pain, nothing at all until my water suddenly broke (strangely the only painful part of it all) and then 10 minutes later my baby was here, I had to open the door for the ambulance with a baby’s head in between my legs.
I had a PPH and required a blood transfusion after being blue lighted to hospital as I was at home (thankfully my other children were at my parents house!)

I’m now pregnant and absolutely terrified this might happen again.
Has anyone had this happen before?! Was the next Labour “normal” ?!
I have a consultant appointment in a few weeks but I’m not really expecting a lot from it.

My first labour was classed as a silent one and my second one wasn’t, although waters breaking was the first sign of labour both times for me.

My first labour I didn't know I was in labour. I literally had her 20 mins after arriving at the hospital for a completely different unrelated reason.

My second and third labours I knew. But they were very quick. My third I had 15 mins after my first bit of pain. i had a sweep 2 hours prior which wasn't "successful" as cervix was far back.

we came to the conclusion that i have silent labours generally. Because of the quickness of my first 2 labours the consultant wanted to induce me due to complications that appeared. But that wasn't successful either. She just came on her own, late and very quick.

It's called Precipate labour google it. I had it with my son no pain nothing but was in labour for 15 minutes. Only happened once for us and I've got 3 more kids since then.

Saw your title and thought for a second you were talking politics!
