I had a planned homebirth with #3 but if it wasnt planned he still would have been born at home as i didnt realise i was in active labour until i felt the urge to push! My labour was 2 hours but would have been closer to 1 hour had i not forced myself not to push in hopes that the midwife would make it (she didnt anyway). But even though i was having contrax they were so faint that it didn't feel 'real'. Then all of a sudden i hit transition and then yep i knew, and that is when i called the midwife (bit late obviously!). I'm so scared for next time being the same or even faster!
