1st - induced, around 10hours.
2nd - about just over 4hours.
3rd - Almost 24hours. Went in on the Saturday with bag etc expecting it not to take too long. Got sent home as the pains I was feeling weren't registering as contractions on the machine Told to take a paracetamol. Pains spaced out a little once home but still crippling. Went through the night (refused to go to hospital in case sent home again). Went to hospital around 6:10am Sunday. Wanted to push as arrived up the steps. Got me to a delivery room and baby born at 6:23am Not that bad really

1st - 16 hours from first contraction to being pulled out (hospital, epidural, ventouse).
2nd - 2h 25mins from first contraction to last push, at home unexpectedly!

No number 3! (Got a LOT of sweet-talking to persuade DH to go for that)

Ds 1 14 hrs 2weeks early
Ds 2 8.5 hrs 3 days early
no 3 due on 20 Aug. Head engaged now so am hopeful!
My midwife did say that no 3 can take a while for contractions to build up so Im curious.
