Sick and tired pretty much sums it up LOL. With #1 I had the runs for a day & half (and looking back it was probably pre-labour pains too, but thought it was just my tummy at the time), so had already lost a night's sleep. And with #2 I was up all night vomiting and went into labour the next day dehydrated and exhausted. My body isn't kind to me! LOL. Altho my labours weren't awfully long, DS official labour was 5 1/2 hrs, and DD was.. I don't know actually! LOL. But it was all within the same day.. not sure when I was in established labour with her, coz they actually tried to prevent it with her being prem, so it was probably made longer than it should have been.
