3rd labour, how long?

[S2b16]

Just curious, Ive heard they can be a bit unpredictable but dh works away so hoping he makes it.
Dd1 17hrs from established (induced)
Dd2 8hrs from established (4 days late)

All my labors began about 2 am (bizarre)
#1 born at 4:15
#2 born at 7:34 PM
#3 born at 6:47 AM

My 3rd was 1 hour 40 mins

Number 1: 18 hours from established
Number 2: 7 hours from established
Number 3: one hour from first little twinge

Omg so they are all pretty fast then. He's self employed so can't take much time off so we're scared he misses it, 8 weeks to go tho, thank you all for replying xx

I'm hoping for about 8 hours too, I have group b so would rather he had anti biotics via me, and that would give dh time to get home.....don't want much I know ha ha. Know he'll come when he comes, but we can wish xxx

None of my labours were quick.

DC1 21 hours
DC2 12 hours
DC3 5 hours

All spontaneous labours within five days of the due date.

Thanks drama, heard some people say their 3rd labours were the longest but looking at comments they are quicker than 1&2 x

Ds1 27 hrs 2 days overdue
Ds2 16 hrs 3 weeks early!
Dd1 born 4 weeks ago exactly on due date! 7 hrs and the easiest!.

DC1 13 hours
DC2 6 hours
DC3 20 hours.....

In fairness it wasn't constant and only really got going in the last four hours or so but it was the most stop/start of them all. Started in the evening, stopped about 1am so I went to bed, woke again about 5, stopped again. Had a HB and kept having to keep walking sideways up and down the stairs to get it going again.

He was also 9 days late and at age 3 is a pretty laidback little boy - maybe that was part of it. MW did tell me that 3rd labours can be very stop/start.

DC4 due Sep - no idea how that'll go.

Very best of luck to you. x

Thank you for your replies, long day good luck for dc4, I hope it all goes well. X

ds 1 7 and a half hours
ds 2 6 hours
ds 3 1.41 I was induced with him

Pretty quick. I'd had a good few hours of twinges, but was still reading a book 40 minutes before DD2 arrived. I was just demanding an epidural when her head came down.

I wasn't sure I was in labour at 8am was holding him in my arms at 9.15. Would have been quicker except I had to try not to push him out in taxi!! I am Gbs positive and baby fine despite no time for antibiotics, fast delivery helps reduce risk.

45 minutes

1st labour 7 hours, 2nd 2 hours, 3rd 80 mins ( from first contraction)

No 1 - 4 hours (pushing stage 1.5)
No 2 - 4 hours (pushing stage 1.5)
No3 - 2 hours 11 mins (pushing stage 11 mins!)

Oh dear, really appreciate all your replies. I think dh better prepare himself for missing birth (he has a 5 hour drive home) unless ds comes on a weekend. What will be, will be I guess. That's great needadvice, really reassuring about gbs thank you x

1st - 22 hours
2nd - 4 hours
3rd - 2 days of start stop contractions and then 4 hours once established. OH was convinced this one would be 5 days late as the other 2 were, so thought it safe to go to Italy for work. Typically everything kicked off the first night he was away!!

1. 38 hours
2. 7 hours
3. 1.5 hours
4. 4 hours

Number 3 was a lot smaller than the other three, my fourth was the biggest, no logic really.

My husband missed number 3 as well, he was still dropping 1 and 2 at my mums.

3rd was just under 2hrs start to finish!

3rd was 1hr 12mins
