Not due til November but just wondering about this. I had my dd 3 days before her due date. When midwife first examined me she told me I was barely 2cm dilated and to expect a long wait. DD was born 2 hours later with less than a half hour pushing. I had no drugs that could have moved things on so quickly. The midwife didn't even believe me when I said I had a strong urge to push and only examined me when I persisted. I wonder if anyone had a similar experience first time round and what was subsequent labour like.
