Third labour - when did it start?

[Sleepsleepsleep123]

And how was it?

Especially in comparison to your first two!

Thank you!

Anyone?

Exactly the same as the first two.
All born within 2.5 hours of first contraction.

8 year gap between 2nd and 3rd - had to have pessary induction at 1 week overdue but it all ended up pretty textbook. 6 hours from contractions to babe-in-arms and no complications.

As a comparison first took over 24hrs and 2nd was 2 hrs 45 mins so felt like a happy medium! Term+ 14 for first and +9 for 2nd.

On a Saturday morning, 3+ weeks early, like his siblings. Labour lasted 4 hours from plug going, waters didn't fully break till a few hours in. I was beginning to worry because with his older siblings, waters breaking was the first indication of labour ( DC1 born after about 4 hours, DS2 after about an hour).
No pain relief needed for any of them.

I was 41 weeks when my third daughter was born and it was by far the easiest birth

Super helpful. Thanks everyone.
