My first baby came 40w bang on, I was in labour 5hours.
Second baby came at 38+3 and I was only in hospital 20 mins before she came.
Both with no medical intervention

I'm currently 37 week, currently suffering awfully with SPD & ready for her to be out.

What where your experiences with when third baby came? Where they early or late?

1 - 42wk induced. 12/13hr labour.
2 - 40+10 spontaneous 6hr established labour.

  1. Despite regular contractions on my due date she was induced at 42wks. 2hrs.

She was my quickest, easiest and biggest of 4 so far..

All of my children have been two- three days late except my third. He rocked up nine days later than he should have.

First had 13 hr labour, second six hours and incredibly easy. DC3 was much more stop/start, as was DC4 - both really ramped up when they broke my waters (in fact, I asked with DC4, as it had been so effective with DC3). Both labours around 12 or so hours but it felt as if there was a lot of hanging around when things slowed down (fortunately I was at home for DC3).

Should have said, all four started spontaneously but I have a sweep just before due date with all.

DS1 was 36+3 weeks, spontaneous labour. 24hrs active, lots of intervention.
DS2 was 39+6 weeks, 6hr labour. Managed with G&A in the birthing pool.

DD1 was born last night at 39+2, labour/contractions were only a few hours. She was born on the bathroom floor, delivered by her daddy 💜
