My first labour was a nightmare compared to the second!

I was in Labour for over 30 hours from first contraction around 16 hours later waters broke and contractions stopped so then I was left for 8 hours with no progress before I was put on the drip to bring on contractions. DD took over an hour and a half to push out due to having a sholder in the way and rebounding back in with her fists!

My second I woke to broken waters in bed within 1/2 hour got my first niggle contractions picked up and hit in strong around 2.5 hours later and DS arrived less than four hours after water breakage with 3 pushes he was out!

Totally different and as you can see alot quicker! I was one of the lucky ones and never tore but did have a graze from DD due to her sholder, think it was due to how long she took to get out!

This one who knows but I'll let you know when he arrives the midwifes have been joking that I'll lift my leg and he'll fall out! lol
