With my first one, the first couple of contractions I thought “This is cool, I can do this.” Then the rest came in quick succession. With the next, I freaked cos I knew what was coming
I was wondering if it was really labour or just practice labour as I was overdue. I remember the pain shooting up my back as bub was posterior and it was very intense.
1st labour, I woke up at 2 am and thought I had a tummy bug or I atell something that didn’t agree with me, after trip after trip to the toilet and 2 hours later it finally clicked, I’m in labour! 10 hour labour
I have had 4 other labours, 5 hours, 2 hours, 1 hour and 40 minutes lol
My first child start at 8:30 when i sat down to eat breakfast and i felt a Pop and a Grind in my pelvis followed by needing to go to the toilet. I had the classis when sitting on the loo, nothing happened then standing up, leakage. I knew then what was happening. 9:01 am first pains started and were immediately 3 – 6 mins apart. Called birthsuite who advised to come in and get checked out, we will probably send you home. called mum to come and get me, she took two hours so was a little anxious. Got to hospital and was 5cm dialated at 11:15 am. I was rapt that it was already half over, midwife said it would be a lot longer yet. my little girl was born at 5:44pm. Second child, had braxton hicks for two and a half months but the day i went into labour had a similar pain but was just different. that 10
pm abd child two was born 3.5 hrs later
