My last birth was a bit like that, it was under an hour from first Contraction & he was prem so he was taken to the SCN after a very quick cuddle.
I had the shakes really bad & was a bit shocked by it all, even tho i knew it would be fast & i knew i wouldn't get to hold him etc it was still a huge shock.
I didn't enjoy his birth but i guess that's more because i knew things would be different & i think i actually dreaded it.
I wonder if he had been full term if my feelings would've been different.

My 3rd birth was 87mins I felt very empowered by her birth but i had a big PPH after she was born & that left me feeling sore, weak & a like a complete failure

My 2nd birth which was 2hrs 30mins was perfect, very calming & empowering.

Overall they have all left me feeling a bit shocked by how fast things happened.
